Acts 19:11-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
11 And God was doing not the ordinary[a] miracles by the hands of Paul— 12 so that handkerchiefs or aprons[b] were even being carried-forth[c] from his skin to the ones being sick, and the diseases were being released from them, and the evil spirits were going out.
Even Some Non-Believing Priests Tried To Utilize Paul’s Power
13 And even some of the Jewish exorcists[d] going-around attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over the ones having the evil spirits, saying, “I make you swear[e] by the Jesus Whom Paul is proclaiming”.

New International Version
11 God did extraordinary miracles(A) through Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured(B) and the evil spirits left them.
13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits(C) tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus(D) whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”
