The paper is focused on a description and analysis of exorcism in the Coptic Orthodox Church. It deals with sacramental as well as non-sacramental rites. The paper introduces the arguments of Pope Shenouda III (1923–2012) to the reader. The paper results in a statement that the practice of exorcism is part of the living tradition of the Coptic Orthodox church, is based on biblical arguments and is performed with the goal of eschatological redemption.

The message of sin and repentance is one of the crucial themes of the second part of Luke’s work. The author stresses Israel’s guilt and the gravity of every sin. Using the case of Ananias and Sapphira he emphasizes the fact that sins are punished. That is why Peter in his speeches points the necessity of repentance and penance and exhorts people to be baptised ‘in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins’ (Acts 2, 38). Giving up sin is the precondition for forgiveness, which is stated in the fragment on Simon in Acts 8, 18-24.
