Acts 19:13-16
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]Then certain of the vagabond Jews, [b]exorcists took in hand to name over them which had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
14 (And there were certain sons of Sceva a Jew, the Priest, about seven which did this.)
15 And the evil spirit answered, and said, Jesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was, ran on them, and overcame them, and [c]prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house, naked and wounded.
