An ApplicationWhile Jesus released us from the ceremonial obligations of the Law of Moses, Paul points out in RO 7:7 that the law informs us what sin is, and Jesus specifically said to "sin no more" (JN 8:11) and "repent" (MT 4:17). Messing with the supernatural is a very dangerous game, as the 7 brothers learned in ACT 19:16. God warned (commanded) us not to in LEV 20:27 & DT 18:10-12 (among others). One random demon here significantly overpowered 7 men (remember MK 5:2-4). Deeply study God's word first.

Connect the DotsACT 19:10,21 may have been when Paul wrote his letter to the Romans (RO 1:1,7) which was his only [preserved] letter written to a community before he visited them. / Compare ACT 19:15 to MT 7:21. / In ACT 19:19, 50K typical 1-ounce silver coins have a value of over a million USD in 2021. / This story is who EPH 1:1 will later be written to. / Paul traveled something like 2K miles (3K KM) in this one story.
