Acts 19:11-17 (NKJV)
11 Now God worked unusual
miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 so that even handkerchiefs or
aprons were brought from his body
to the sick, and the diseases left
them and the evil spirits went out
of them.
13 Then
some of the itinerant
Jewish exorcists took it upon
themselves to call the name of the
Lord Jesus over those who had evil
spirits, saying, "We exorcise you by
the Jesus whom Paul preaches."
14 Also there were seven sons of
Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who
did so.
15 And
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.
17 This
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.
Matthew 16:15-19 (NKJV)
15 He said to them, "But who do
you say that I am?"
16 Simon Peter answered and said,
"You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God."
18 And
I also say to you that you
are Peter, and on this rock I will
build My church, and the gates of
Hades shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven, and whatever
you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose
on earth will be loosed in heaven."

1 But know this, that in the last
days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of
themselves, lovers of money,
boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
3 unloving,
unforgiving,
slanderers, without self-control,
brutal, despisers of good,
4 traitors, headstrong, haughty,
lovers of pleasure rather than
lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but
denying its power. And from such
people turn away!
