13  Then some of the wandering Jews, exorcists, attempted to name the name of YHWH Jesus over those having the evil spirits, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."

13  But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

13  Now certain Jews, who went about exorcising evil spirits, invoked the name of our LORD Jesus over those who were possessed, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.

14  Now there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish high priest, doing this.

14  And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this.

14  And there were certain Jews, the seven sons of Sceva, leaders among the priests, who were acting in this way.

15  But the evil spirit answered and said, "Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize; but who are you?"

15  And the evil spirit answered and said unto them, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye?

15  But a wicked spirit responded by saying to them: “Jesus I know, and Paul I know. But who are you?”

16  Then the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped upon them, and having subdued them, prevailed against them, so that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.

16  And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and mastered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

16  Then the insane man leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

17  Now this became known to all both Jews and Greeks who were dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and they were praising the name of YHWH Jesus.

17  And so, this became known to all the Jews and Gentiles who were living at Ephesus. And a fear fell over them all. And the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

17  And this became known to all the Jews and Arameans (Syrians) who dwelt at EphÆesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of our LORD Jesus Christ was magnified.

18  And many of those who had believed were coming, confessing and disclosing their deeds.

18  And many believers were arriving, confessing, and announcing their deeds.

18  And many of them that believed came, and told their faults, and confessed what they had done.

19  And many of those who were practicing magic brought together their books and burned them up before everyone. And they counted up the prices of them, and [found it to be] fifty thousand [pieces] of silver.

19  Then many of those who had followed odd sects brought together their books, and they burned them in the sight of all. And after determining the value of these, they found the price to be fifty thousand denarii.

19  Many of them also which used curious arts brought 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  Thus the word of YHWH was growing powerfully and prevailed.

20  So mightily grew the word of the Lord and prevailed.

20  In this way, the Word of God was increasing strongly and was being confirmed.
