Acts 19:11-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
11 And God was doing not the ordinary[a] miracles by the hands of Paul— 12 so that handkerchiefs or aprons[b] were even being carried-forth[c] from his skin to the ones being sick, and the diseases were being released from them, and the evil spirits were going out.
Even Some Non-Believing Priests Tried To Utilize Paul’s Power
13 And even some of the Jewish exorcists[d] going-around attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over the ones having the evil spirits, saying, “I make you swear[e] by the Jesus Whom Paul is proclaiming”. 14 Now there were seven sons of a certain Sceva[f], a Jewish chief priest, doing this. 15 But having responded, the evil spirit said to them, “I know Jesus and know-about Paul, but who are you?” 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit— having leaped on them, having subdued[g] all[h] of them— prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and having been wounded.
