Acts 19:12-16

English Standard Version

^12 (A)so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and ^(B)the evil spirits came out of them. ¹³ Then some of the itinerant Jewish ^(C)exorcists ^(D)undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, ^(E)“I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” ¹⁴ Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. ¹⁵ But the evil spirit answered them, ^(F)“Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” ¹⁶ And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all^[a] of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
