Acts 19:13-16

13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish ¹exorcists ²undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, ³"I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims."

14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.

15 But the evil spirit answered them, ⁴"Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?"

16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all^[a] of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
