Sceva, identified as a Jewish chief priest, would have been a person of significant religious standing. However, the narrative in Acts highlights the distinction between genuine apostolic authority and those who merely invoke the name of Jesus without true faith or understanding.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps of Latin origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Sceva, a Jewish chief priest<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Sceva (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4630: Σκευᾶς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Σκευᾶς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Σκευᾶ</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 8, 1;
