11Further, God kept working unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,
12so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that he touched were applied to the sick, and the diseases left them and the wicked spirits went out from them.
13Well some among the itinerant Jewish exorcists attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had wicked spirits saying, “We adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
14In fact there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who were doing this.
15But a particular wicked spirit reacted and said, “Jesus I know, and I am acquainted with Paul, but who are you?”
16And the man in whom the wicked spirit was jumped on them and overpowered them; he was so much stronger that they ran out of that house naked and wounded.
17Now this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being exalted.
18And many of those who had believed started coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.
