Deeds (Act) of Apostles 19:12-25

¹²so that on sick men the sudaria, or sweating clothes, (or napkins), were borne from his body, and sicknesses departed from them, and wicked spirits went out.

¹³But also some of the Jewish exorcists went about, and assayed or attempted to in-call the name of the Lord Jesus Christ on them that had evil spirits, and said, I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.

¹⁴And there were some seven sons of a Jew, Sceva, a prince of (the) priests (or a high priest), that did this thing.

¹⁵But the evil spirit answered, and said to them, I know Jesus, and I know Paul; but who be ye?

¹⁶And the man in which was the worst devil, leaped on them, and had victory or lordship on both (or over all of them), and was (so) strong against them, that they naked and wounded fled away from that house.

¹⁷And this thing was made known to all the Jews and heathen men, that dwelled at Ephesus; and dread fell down on them all, and they magnified the name of the Lord Jesus. (And this was made known to all the Jews and Gentiles, who lived in Ephesus; and fearful reverence fell upon them, and they magnified the name of the Lord Jesus.)

¹⁸And many men believed, and came, acknowledging and telling their deeds.

¹⁹And many of them that (pur)sued curious things, brought together (their) books, and burned them before all (the) men; and when the prices of those were accounted, they found money of fifty thousand pence; (And many of them who followed curious things, brought together all their books, and burned them before everyone; and when the value of those books was reckoned, they found that they were worth about fifty thousand pence;)

²⁰so strongly the word of God waxed, (or grew, or spread), and was confirmed.

²²And he sent into Macedonia two men, that ministered to him (or who served him), Timothy, and Erastus, and he dwelled for a time in Asia.

²³And a great troubling was made in that day, of the way of the Lord or in the way of the Lord.

²⁴For a man, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, made silver houses to Diana, that is, a false goddess, and gave to craftsmen much winning (or great profit);

²⁵which he called together them that were such manner workmen, and said, Men, ye know that of this craft winning is to us, (or Men, ye know that from this craft there is great profit for us);
