Acts 19:10-18
New American Standard Bible
11God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
12so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.
13But 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!'
14Now there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, doing this.
15But the evil spirit responded and said to them, 'I recognize Jesus, and I know of Paul, but who are you?'
16And 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.
17This 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.
18Also many of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.
