Acts 19:11-20 - Would-Be Exorcists
11 And God did special powers by Paul's hands: 12 So that also upon the sick were brought from his body napkins or aprons, and diseases were removed from them, and evil spirits came out of them.
13 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. 14 And there were certain sons of Sceva, a Jew, chief priest, seven doing this. 15 And the evil spirit having answered, said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 16 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. 17 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. 18 And many of them having believed came, acknowledging and proclaiming their deeds. 19 And sufficient of them having done unnecessary things, having brought books together, burned before all: and computed their prices, and found fifty thousand of silver. 20 Thus with might the word of the Lord increased, and was strong.
