Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en onomati {ἐν ὀνόματι | en onómati} indicates that the act is performed under or with reference to “the Name,” and this is immediately explained by the causal clause hoti Christou este {ὅτι Χριστοῦ ἐστε | hóti Christoû este}, grounding the action in the disciples’ identity as belonging to Christ.
Root and etymology
stéllōsté-llō
“to dispatch, command”
In context — Mark 9:41
For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in the Name, because you are Christ’s , truly I say to you, he will never lose his reward .
