13But alsoG2532 someG5100 of the JewishG2453 1exorcistsG1845, who wentG4022 fromG4022 placeG4022 toG4022 placeG4022, attemptedG2021 to 2useG3687 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 3ScevaG4630, 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.
