Acts 19:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 19:16

14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”

16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them,¹ overpowered them, and prevailed against² them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

17 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and ^afear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

18 And many who had believed came ^aconfessing and telling their deeds.
