Acts 19:13-19

13NowG1161 there were someG5100 itinerantG4022 JewishG2453 exorcistsG1845 who triedG2021 to invokeG3687 theG3588 nameG3686 of theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424 overG1909 thoseG3588 withG2192 evilG4190 spiritsG4151. They would sayG3004, “I commandG3726 youG4771 by JesusG2424, whomG3739 PaulG3972 proclaimsG2784.” 14SevenG2033 sonsG5207 of ScevaG5100G4630, a JewishG2453 chief priestG749, wereG1510 doingG4160 thisG3778.

15ButG1161 one day theG3588 evilG4190 spiritG4151 respondedG611G2036G846, “JesusG2424 I knowG1097, andG2532 I know aboutG1987 PaulG3972, butG1161 whoG5101 areG1510 youG4771?” 16ThenG2532 theG3588 manG444 withG3739G1510 theG3588 evilG4190 spiritG4151 jumpedG2177 onG1909 themG846 and overpoweredG2634 them allG297. The attackG2480G2596G846 was so violentG5620 that they ranG1628 out ofG1537 theG3588 houseG3624 nakedG1131 andG2532 woundedG5135.

ThisG3778 becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 theG3588 JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672 livingG2730 in EphesusG2181, andG2532 fearG5401 cameG1968 overG1909 allG3956 of themG846. So theG3588 nameG3686 of theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424 was held in high honorG3170. 18ManyG4183 whoG3588 had believedG4100 nowG5037 came forwardG2064, confessingG1843 andG2532 disclosingG312 theirG846 deedsG4234. 19AndG1161 a numberG2425 of those whoG3588 had practicedG4238 magic artsG4021 broughtG4851 their booksG976 and burnedG2618 them in front ofG1799 everyoneG3956. When theG3588 valueG5092 ofG846 the books was calculatedG4860, the total came to fifty thousandG4002G3461 drachmasG694.1
