Acts 19:12-14
The Voice
12 People would take a handkerchief or article of clothing that had touched Paul’s skin and bring it to their sick friends or relatives, and the patients would be cured of their diseases or released from the evil spirits that oppressed them.
13-14 Some itinerant Jewish exorcists noticed Paul’s success in this regard, so they tried to use the name of Jesus, the King, in an exorcism they were performing.
Imagine this: There are seven of them, all sons of a Jewish chief priest named Sceva, gathered around a demonized man in a house.
One of the Jewish Exorcists: I command you to depart, by the Jesus proclaimed by Paul!
Acts 19:12-14
New International Version
12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured(A) and the evil spirits left them.
13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits(B) tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus(C) whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
