ACTS 19:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.”
Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits (exorkistai, exorcists) tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed — They said, 'In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out' — Jewish exorcists (exorkistai) attempt to harness apostolic authority through rote invocation of Jesus's name. Their strategy assumes transferable power divorced from personal faith.
