Acts 19:7-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. There were about twelve men in all.

8. And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.

9. But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.

10. This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

11. And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,

12. so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.

13. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.”
