**Have**
Not as in A.V., "since ye believed," but as in R.V. and marg.: "Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed?" Paul was evidently impressed by the absence of spirituality and power in these so-called disciples. Their answer brought out the fact that they were Jewish proselytes, disciples of John the Baptist, looking backward to an accomplished redemption. [Romans 8:9](../../../kjv/romans/8/9); [1 Corinthians 6:19](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/6/19); [Ephesians 1:13](../../../kjv/ephesians/1/13).

**overcame** The sons of Sceva sought to imitate a power to which they were strangers, only to their own confusion. This striking witness from another side caused fear to fall on all.
**prevailed** [Luke 11:21](../../../kjv/luke/11/21); [Luke 11:22](../../../kjv/luke/11/22); [1 John 4:4](../../../kjv/1-john/4/4).

**spirit**
i.e. in his own mind. Cf. *(See Scofield "**")* .

**about the way**
concerning the Way, i.e. Christ. [John 14:6](../../../kjv/john/14/6).

**world**
"oikoumene" = inhabited earth. *(See Scofield "**")* .

**Diana**
Gr. Artemis. Not anciently of the Greek pantheon, but an Eastern goddess. Cf. [Judges 2:13](../../../kjv/judges/2/13). *(See Scofield "*[Judges 2:13](../../../kjv/judges/2/13)*")* .
But "Diana of the Ephesians" was rather a particular image of Artemis, reputed to have fallen from heaven; [Acts 19:35](../../../kjv/acts/19/35).
