Revelation 13
- 1And I stood on the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads the name of blasphemy.
- 2And the beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
- 3And I saw one of his heads as if it were wounded to death. His deadly wound was healed, and all the world was amazed and followed the beast.
- 4And they worshiped the dragon who gave power to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?
- 5And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies. Power was given to him to continue forty-two months.
- 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and those who live in heaven.
- 7And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Power was given him over all tribes, and tongues, and nations.
- 8And all who live on the earth will worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb killed from the foundation of the world.
- 9If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
- 10He who leads into captivity will go into captivity. He who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints.
- 11And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.
- 12He exercises all the power of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who live in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
- 13And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
- 14And he deceives those who live on the earth by those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to those who live on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and lived.
- 15And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
- 16And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads,
- 17and that no one might buy or sell, except he who had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
- 18Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred sixty-six.
