Revelation 13
13
1and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. 2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. 3And I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast; 4and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him? 5and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. 6And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven. 7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world. 9If any man hath an ear, let him hear. 10If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. 13And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. 14And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who hath the stroke of the sword, and lived. 15And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.

13
The First Beast from the Sea
1 And I saw coming up out of the sea a beast that had ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns ten royal headbands,#Or “ten diadem crowns” and on its heads a blasphemous name.#Some manuscripts read “blasphemous names” 2And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, and its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority. 3And one of its heads appeared as though slaughtered to death, and its fatal wound#Literally “wound of death” had been healed. And the whole earth was astonished and followed after the beast. 4And they worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to make war with him?
5And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies, and authority to act was given to him for forty-two months. 6And he opened his mouth for blasphemies toward God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling, those who live in heaven. 7And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation. 8And all those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name is not written#Literally “of whom his name is not written” from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered. 9If anyone has an ear, let him hear!
10If anyone is going into captivity, into captivity he goes.
If anyone is to be killed by the sword, by the sword he is to be killed.
Here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints.
The Second Beast from the Earth
11And I saw another beast coming up from the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he was speaking like a dragon. 12And he exercises all the authority of the first beast on behalf of him, and he causes the earth and those who live in it to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed#Literally “of whom the wound of his death had been healed”. 13And he performs great signs, so that he even causes fire from heaven to come down to the earth before people. 14And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that it has been granted to him to perform on behalf of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword and yet lived. 15And it was given to him to put breath into the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast both spoke and caused that all those, unless they worshiped the image of the beast, should be killed. 16And he causes all people, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, that they give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17and that no one was able to buy or to sell except the one who had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom: the one who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number,#Or “it is the number of a man” and his number is six hundred sixty-six.#A few significant manuscripts read “six hundred sixteen”
