11. And God was accomplishing powerful and uncommon miracles by the hand of Paul,

13. Then, even some of the traveling Jewish exorcists had attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I bind you by oath through Jesus, whom Paul preaches."
14. And there were certain Jews, the seven sons of Sceva, leaders among the priests, who were acting in this way.
15. But a wicked spirit responded by saying to them: "Jesus I know, and Paul I know. But who are you?"
16. And the man, in whom there was a wicked spirit, leaping at them and getting the better of them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled from that house, naked and wounded.
17. And so, this became known to all the Jews and Gentiles who were living at Ephesus. And a fear fell over them all. And the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
