Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 9:49

"And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us." — Luke 9:49 (ASV)

And John answered and said.—See Notes on Mark 9:38-41, the narrative being common to these two Gospels only.

Master.—The same word as in Luke 5:5; Luke 8:24.
