New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
13
But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, 'I order you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches!'
14
Now there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, doing this.
15
But the evil spirit responded and said to them, 'I recognize Jesus, and I know of Paul, but who are you?'
16
And the man in whom was the evil spirit, pounced on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17
This became known to all who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
18
Also many of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.
19
And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and
began
burning
them
in the sight of everyone; and they added up the prices of the books and found
it to be
fifty thousand
pieces
of silver.
20
So the word of the Lord was growing and prevailing mightily.
King James Version
Chapter 19
13
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
15
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
19
Many of them also which used curious 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 mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

14
Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.
15
The evil spirit answered them, "I know Jesus, and I recognize Paul—but who are you?"

When this became known to everyone who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, they became afraid, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high esteem.
18

In this way the word of the Lord flourished and prevailed.

14

15
But one time when they tried it, the evil spirit replied, 'I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you?'
16
