Context of Acts 19:11

9But when they were hardening and refusing to believe, speaking evil of the Way before the whole group, he withdrew from them, taking the disciples with him, debating daily in the hall of Tyrannus. 10This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord—Jewish as well as Greek people. God was doing extraordinary miracles by Paul’s hands, 12so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that touched his skin were brought to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. 13But some traveling Jewish exorcists also tried to invoke the name of the Lord Yeshua, saying, “I charge you by the Yeshua whom Paul preaches.”
