Exegesis
The relative clause hon Paulos keryssei {ὃν Παῦλος κηρύσσει | hon Paû-los kē-rýs-sei} clarifies which Jesus is meant, linking the narrative to Paul’s proclaimed message. In translation, participial and genitive constructions are reshaped into relative clauses and prepositional phrases to maintain clarity while preserving the strong emphasis on invoking Jesus’ name as the perceived source of exorcistic power.
In context — Acts 19:13
But some also of the itinerant Jewish exorcists attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.”
