Acts 19:13-18

¹³Some Jews who were going around exorcising decided to use the name of the Lord Jesus when they drove out evil spirits. They'd say, “I command you to leave in the name of the Jesus that Paul talks about.”

¹⁴The ones doing this were the seven sons of Sceva, a Jew and a chief priest.

¹⁵But one day an evil spirit responded, “I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you?”

¹⁶The man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered all of them. He beat them so severely that they ran out of the house, naked and badly injured.

¹⁷People living in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, heard about this. They were all in awe at what had happened, and the name of the Lord Jesus gained great respect.

¹⁸Many came to trust in the Lord and confessed their sins, openly admitting their evil practices.
