Bible Question: Did the sons of sceva had demons? |
Bible Answer: Greetings SRN! No, the seven sons of Sceva did not have demons. The lesson of this story is that to use the name of Jesus effectively in exorcism one must be totally devoted to Him. Contrary to theories of magic of the time, the name by itself could do nothing; this misuse, in fact, backfired (v. 16). - Nolan |
