13. But certain roving Yehuḏite exorcists took it upon themselves to call the Name of the Master יהושע over those who had wicked spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by יהושע whom Sha’ul proclaims.”
14. And there were seven sons of a certain Skeua, a Yehuḏite chief priest, who were doing this.
15. And the wicked spirit answering, said, “יהושע I know, and Sha’ul I know, but who are you?”
16. And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17. And this became known to all, both Yehuḏim and Greeks dwelling in Ephesos. And fear fell on them all, and the Name of the Master יהושע was made great.
18. And many who had believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.
19. And many of those who had practised magic brought their books together, burning them before all. And they reckoned up the value of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20. So the word of the Master was growing mightily and prevailing.
