Yes, the Gospels do record Jesus saying both phrases, but in different contexts.
- “Whoever is not with me is against me”: This is found in Matthew 12:30 and Luke 11:23. Jesus says this in the context of addressing the Pharisees, emphasizing the importance of being decisively aligned with Him.
- “Whoever is not against us is for us”: This is found in Mark 9:40 and Luke 9:50. Here, Jesus is responding to His disciples who were concerned about someone casting out demons in His name but not following them. Jesus highlights that those who are not actively opposing His work are, in a sense, supporting it.
These statements reflect different aspects of Jesus’ ministry and the inclusivity of His message. They show that while commitment to Him is crucial, there is also room for recognizing the good done in His name by others.
