Context
The Seven Sons of Sceva
19:11 God was performing extraordinary miracles by Paul’s hands ,
19:12 so that when even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his body were brought to the sick , their diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.
19:13 But some itinerant Jewish exorcists tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were possessed by evil spirits , saying , “I sternly warn you by Jesus whom Paul preaches .”
19:14 (Now seven sons of a man named Sceva , a Jewish high priest , were doing this .)
19:15 But the evil spirit replied to them , “I know about Jesus and I am acquainted with Paul , but who are you ?”
19:16 Then the man who was possessed by the evil spirit jumped on them and beat them all into submission . He prevailed against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded .
19:17 This became known to all who lived in Ephesus , both Jews and Greeks ; fear came over them all , and the name of the Lord Jesus was praised .
19:18 Many of those who had believed came forward , confessing and making their deeds known .
19:19 Large numbers of those who had practiced magic collected their books and burned them up in the presence of everyone . When the value of the books was added up , it was found to total fifty thousand silver coins .
19:20 In this way the word of the Lord continued to grow in power and to prevail .
