Headed the sick, cast out devils and did special miracles:
Acts 15:12
The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas
and Paul telling about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done among the
Gentiles through them.
Acts 16:18
She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so
troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus
Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.
Acts 19:11-20
11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul,
12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him
were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits
left them.
13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried
to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They
would say, “In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come
out.”
14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing
this.
15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and
I know about Paul, but who are you?”
16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and
overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the
house naked and bleeding.
17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in
Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was
held in high honor.
18 Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed
their evil deeds.
19 A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls
together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the
scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.
20 In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in
power.
