Acts 19:4-17

⁴And Paul said, John indeed baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.

⁵And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁶And Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

⁷And all the men were about twelve.

⁸And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

⁹But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

¹⁰And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

¹¹And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,

¹²so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body and put upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.

¹³And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.

¹⁴And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.

¹⁵But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but ye, who are ye?

¹⁶And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, 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 inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
