Acts 19:11-20 - Would-Be Exorcists
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul; 12 so that even handkerchiefs, or aprons, were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
13 Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to name over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. 15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye? 16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them both, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices. 19 Many also of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
