Acts 19:11-19

11GodG2316 was performingG4160 1extraordinaryG3756G5177 2miraclesG1411 by the handsG5495 of PaulG3972,

123soG5620 thatG5620 handkerchiefsG4676 orG2228 apronsG4612 were evenG2532 carriedG667 from his bodyG5559 to the sickG770, and the diseasesG3554 leftG525 them and 4the evilG4190 spiritsG4151 wentG1607 outG1607.

13But alsoG2532 someG5100 of the JewishG2453 5exorcistsG1845, who wentG4022 fromG4022 placeG4022 toG4022 placeG4022, attemptedG2021 to 6useG3687 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 overG1909 thoseG3588 who hadG2192 the evilG4190 spiritsG4151, sayingG3004, “I orderG3726 you inG3726 theG3726 nameG3726 ofG3726 JesusG2424 whomG3739 PaulG3972 preachesG2784!”

14NowG1161 there were sevenG2033 sonsG5207 of 7ScevaG4630, a JewishG2453 chiefG749 priestG749, doingG4160 thisG3778.

15But the evilG4190 spiritG4151 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to them, “I recognizeG1097 JesusG2424, and I knowG1987 of PaulG3972, but whoG5101 are you?”

16And the manG444 in whomG3739 was the evilG4190 spiritG4151, pouncedG2177 on them and subduedG2634 allG297 of them and overpoweredG2480 them, soG5620 thatG5620 they fledG1628 out of that houseG3624 nakedG1131 and woundedG5135.

17ThisG3778 becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 who livedG2730 in 8EphesusG2181, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672; and fearG5401 fellG1968 uponG1968 them allG3956 and the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 was being magnifiedG3170.

18AlsoG5037 manyG4183 of thoseG3588 who had believedG4100 kept comingG2064, confessingG1843 and disclosingG312 their practicesG4234.

19And manyG2425 of thoseG3588 who practicedG4238 magicG4021 broughtG4851 their booksG976 togetherG4851 and began burningG2618 them inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 everyoneG3956; and they addedG4860 upG4860 the pricesG5092 of 9the books and foundG2147 it to be fiftyG3461G4002 thousandG3461 1011pieces of silverG694.
