Contextual Overview
13 Then some of the Jewish exorcists who traveled from place to place tried to make use of the name of the Lord Yeshua in connection with people who had evil spirits. They would say, "I exorcise you by the Yeshua that Sha'ul is proclaiming!" 14 One time, seven sons of a Jewish cohen gadol named Skeva were doing this; 15 and the evil spirit answered them. It said, "Yeshua I know. And Sha'ul I recognize. But you? Who are you?" 16 Then the man with the evil spirit fell upon them, overpowered them and gave them such a beating that they ran from the house, naked and bleeding. 17 When all this became known to the residents of Ephesus, fear fell on all of them, Jews and Greeks alike; and the name of the Lord Yeshua came to be held in high regard. 18 Many of those who had earlier made professions of faith now came and admitted publicly their evil deeds; 19 and a considerable number of those who had engaged in occult practices threw their scrolls in a pile and burned them in public. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, it came to fifty thousand drachmas. 20 Thus the message about the Lord continued in a powerful way to grow in influence.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the evil spirit answered and said,.... The Alexandrian copy, the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions, add, "to them"; to the seven sons of Sceva:
Jesus I know; to be the Son of God and Messiah, and own that he has power of dispossessing spirits, of which there were many instances in the days of his flesh:
and Paul I know; and own to be a servant of the most high God, by whom miracles of this kind have been wrought:
but who are ye? you are not the disciples of Jesus, nor the servants of God, but the children of the devil, and have no power over us, but on the other hand are subject to us.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jesus I know - His power to cast out devils I know. Compare Matthew 8:29.
Paul I know - Paulâs power to cast out devils, Acts . Acts 19:12.
But who are ye? - What power have you over evil spirits? By what right do you attempt to expel them? The meaning is, âYou belong neither to Jesus nor Paul, and you have no right or authority to at tempt to work miracles in the name of either.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 19:15. Jesus I know, and Paul I know — In the answer of the demoniac, the verb in varied: Ïον ÎηÏÎ¿Ï Î½ γινÏÏκÏ, και Ïον Î Î±Ï Î»Î¿Î½ εÏιÏÎ±Î¼Î±Î¹Î Ï ÌÎ¼ÎµÎ¹Ï Î´Îµ ÏÎ¹Î½ÎµÏ (ÏινοÏ) εÏε. I acknowledge Jesus, and am acquainted with Paul; but of whom are ye? Ye belong to neither; ye have no authority. And he soon gave them full proof of this. This distinction is observed in my old MS. Bible: I have knowe Jesu, and I wote Poule; forsothe who ben yee.
