What is this to us
The same passage is recited by Saint Luke, and almost in the same words (Luke 9:49). But it may be asked, What is this to us, seeing no man now casts out devils? Has not the power of doing this been withdrawn from the church for twelve or fourteen hundred years? How then are we concerned in the case here proposed, or in our Lord's decision of it?
