Acts 19:11-26

[11] And  God  wrought  special  miracles  by  the hands  of Paul:  [12] So  that from  his  body  unto  the sick  handkerchiefs  or  aprons,  and  the diseases  departed  from  them,  and  the evil  spirits  out of  them.  [13] Then  certain  the vagabond  Jews,  exorcists,  took upon them  to call  over  them which had  evil  spirits  the name  of the Lord  Jesus,  saying,  We adjure  by Jesus  whom  Paul  preacheth.  [14] And  seven  sons  of one Sceva,  a Jew,  and chief of the priests,  which did  [15] And  the evil  spirit  answered  and said,  Jesus  I know,  and  Paul  I know;  but  who  [16] And  the man  in  whom  the evil  spirit  leaped  on  them,  and  overcame  them,  and prevailed  against  them,  so  that they fled  out of  that  house  naked  and  wounded.  [17] And  was  known  to all  the Jews  and  Greeks  also  dwelling  at Ephesus;  and  fear  fell  on  them  all,  and  the name  of the Lord  Jesus  was magnified.  [18] And  many  that believed  came,  and confessed,  and  shewed  their  deeds.  [19] Many  of them also  which used  curious arts  their books  together,  and burned them  before  all  men: and  they counted  the price  of them,  and  found  it fifty  thousand  pieces of silver.  [20] So  mightily  grew  the word  of God  and  prevailed.  [21] After  were ended,  Paul  purposed  in  the spirit,  when he had passed through  Macedonia  and  Achaia,  to go  to  saying,  After  have been  there,  must  also  Rome.  [22] So  he sent  into  Macedonia  two  of them that ministered  unto him,  Timotheus  and  Erastus;  but he himself  stayed  in  Asia  for a season.  [23] And  the same  time  there arose  no  small  stir  about  that way.  [24] For  a certain  man named  Demetrius,  a silversmith,  which made  silver  shrines  for Diana,  brought  no  small  gain  unto the craftsmen;  [25] Whom  he called together  with the workmen  of  like occupation,  and  said,  Sirs,  ye know  that  by  craft  wealth.  [26] Moreover  ye see  and  hear,  that  not  alone  at Ephesus,  but  almost  throughout all  Asia,  this  Paul  hath persuaded  and turned away  much  people,  saying  that  no  gods,  which  are made  with  hands:
