  • ACT 19:13–20, engwebp

    13But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

    14There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

    15The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”

    16The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

    17This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

    18Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.

    19Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

    20So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
