Acts 19:11-20 - Would-Be Exorcists
11 And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so as to even bring handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin to those who were incapacitated and to free their infirmities from them, and the evil spirits to go out from them.
13 But some of the wandering Jewish exorcists, attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims. 14 And there were some sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, seven doing this. 15 And having answered, the evil spirit said, I know Jesus and I recognize Paul, but who are ye? 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overpowered them, he prevailed against them, so as for them to flee out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, to those who dwell at Ephesus. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many of those who have believed came, confessing, and reporting their practices. 19 And a considerable number of those who practiced magical things, having brought their books together, burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 Thus the word of the Lord was growing mightily and was prevailing.
