Acts 19:13–20

¹³But also some of the Jewish ^aexorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “I implore you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

¹⁴Now seven sons of one named Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.

¹⁵And the evil spirit answered and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”

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

¹⁷And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in ^aEphesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.

¹⁸Also, many of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.

¹⁹And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and were burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand ^1apieces of silver.

²⁰So ^1athe word of the Lord ^bwas growing mightily and prevailing.
