10This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.
11God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul,
12so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.
13Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They would say, “I bind you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.”
14Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
15Eventually, one of the evil spirits answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
16Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.
17This became known to all the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear came over all of them. So the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
18Many who had believed now came forward, confessing and disclosing their deeds.
19And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books and burned them in front of everyone. When the value of the books was calculated, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.
20So the word of the Lord powerfully continued to spread and prevail.
