SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:49
Entonces respondiendo Juan, dijo: Maestro, hemos visto a uno que echaba fuera demonios en tu nombre; y se lo prohibimos, porque no te sigue con nosotros.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 9:49
Verse 49. We forbade him] See this subject considered on Mark ix. 38, &c.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 49. And John answered and said, Master , etc.] The Syriac and Persic versions read, our Master: we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him ; (See Gill on Mark 9:38) Because he followeth not with us ; the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, because he followeth not thee with us; did not join in company with them, and follow Christ along with them, and as they did.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 43-50 - This prediction of Christ's sufferings was plain enough, but the disciples would not understand it, because it agreed not with their notions. A little child is the emblem by which Christ teaches u simplicity and humility. What greater honour can any man attain to in this world, than to be received by men as a messenger of God an Christ; and to have God and Christ own themselves received and welcome in him! If ever any society of Christians in this world, had reason to silence those not of their own communion, the twelve disciples at thi time had; yet Christ warned them not to do the like again. Those may be found faithful followers of Christ, and may be accepted of him, who d not follow with us.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
9:49 {And John answered} (apokriqeis de iwanes). As if John wanted to change the subject after the embarrassment of the rebuke for their dispute concerning greatness (#Lu 9:46-48). {Master} (epistata). Only in Luke in the N.T. as already four times (#5:5; 8:24,45; 9:33). {We forbade him} (ekwluomen auton). Conative imperfect as in #Mr 9:38, We tried to hinder him. {Because he followeth not with us} (hoti ouk akolouqei meq hemwn). Present tense preserved for vividness where Mark has imperfect {kolouthei}. Note also here "with us" (meq' hemwn) where Mark has associative instrumental hemin. It is a pitiful specimen of partisan narrowness and pride even in the Beloved Disciple, one of the Sons of Thunder. The man was doing the Master's work in the Master's name and with the Master's power, but did not run with the group of the Twelve.
