God worked special miracles by the hands of Sha'ul,
12
so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.
13
But some of the itinerant Yehudim, exorcists, took on themselves to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Yeshua, saying, "We adjure you by Yeshua whom Sha'ul preaches."
14
There were seven sons of one Skeva, a Yehudi chief Kohen, who did this.
15
The evil spirit answered, "Yeshua I know, and Sha'ul I know, but who are you?"
16
The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17
This became known to all, both Yehudim and Yevanim, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Yeshua was magnified.
18
Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
19
Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20
So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21
Now after these things had ended, Sha'ul determined in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Yerushalayim, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
