In context

11 God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul,

12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.

13 Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They would say, “I bind you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.”

14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.

15 Eventually, one of the evil spirits answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
