Acts 19:15-17, 21 (NRSV)
15But the evil spirit said to them in reply, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?"
16Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered them all, and so overpowered them that they fled out of the house naked and wounded.
17When this became known to all residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, everyone was awestruck; and the name of the Lord Jesus was praised.
20So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.
Acts 19:15-17, 20 (MSG)
15when the evil spirit talked back: "I know Jesus and I've heard of Paul, but who are you?"
16Then the possessed man went berserk—jumped the exorcists, beat them up, and tore off their clothes. Naked and bloody, they got away as best they could.
17It was soon news all over Ephesus among both Jews and Greeks. The realization spread that God was in and behind this. Curiosity about Paul developed into reverence for the Master Jesus.
20In such ways it became evident that the Word of the Master was now sovereign and prevailed in Ephesus.
Acts 19:15-17, 20 (NKJV)
15And 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, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
20So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.
