Acts 19:11-17

The Sons of Sceva

11And aGod was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 bso that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and cthe evil spirits came out of them. 13Then some of the itinerant Jewish dexorcists eundertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, f“I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 14Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. 15But the evil spirit answered them, gJesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” 16And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all
Or both
of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and ithe name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.
