A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them, and they prophesied in the camp.
Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses’ aide since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”
“Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
