Atos 19:14 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 19:14

And there were seven sons of one Sceva a Jew
Who strolled about the country, and used exorcisms: and

chief of the priests;
that were at Ephesus; not the high priest of the Jews, for he would have been at Jerusalem, and not at Ephesus; though indeed it does not necessarily follow from the words, that Sceva himself was there, only his seven sons: however, no such name appears in the catalogue of the Jewish high priests, nor is it reasonable to think, that seven sons of an high priest should follow such a vagabond course of life: Beza's ancient copy only calls him "a priest"; and the Alexandrian copy reads his name, Sceuta, and the Ethiopic version omits it; it is the same with (hawko) , and signifies a spectator, or observer; see the Targum on ( 2 Samuel 13:34 ) ( Isaiah 21:6 ) .

which did so;
adjured the devils in the name of Jesus, to come out; at least they did so in one case, as follows.

Atos 19:14 In-Context

12 de modo que até lenços e aventais que Paulo usava eram levados e colocados sobre os enfermos. Estes eram curados de suas doenças, e os espíritos malignos saíam deles.
13 Alguns judeus que andavam expulsando espíritos malignos tentaram invocar o nome do Senhor Jesus sobre os endemoninhados, dizendo: “Em nome de Jesus, a quem Paulo prega, eu ordeno que saiam!”
14 Os que estavam fazendo isso eram os sete filhos de Ceva, um dos chefes dos sacerdotes dos judeus.
15 Um dia, o espírito maligno lhes respondeu: “Jesus, eu conheço, Paulo, eu sei quem é; mas vocês, quem são?”
16 EntĂŁo o endemoninhado saltou sobre eles e os dominou, espancando-os com tamanha violĂŞncia que eles fugiram da casa nus e feridos.
