Sceva in the Bible

Meaning: disposed; prepared

Thematic Bible



And certain of the wandering Jews, exorcists, undertook to call over them having evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims. And there were certain sons of Sceva, a Jew, chief priest, seven doing this. And the evil spirit having answered, said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? read more.
And the man leaping upon them in whom the evil spirit was, and having overpowered them, he was strong against them, so that naked and wounded they fled out of the house. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
