12AndG2532 this beast exercisedG4160 allG3956 theG3588 authorityG1849 of theG3588 firstG4413 beastG2342G1799G846 andG2532 causedG4160 theG3588 earthG1093 andG2532 those whoG3588 dwellG2730 inG1722 itG846 toG2443 worshipG4352 theG3588 firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739G846 mortalG2288 woundG4127 had been healedG2323.
13AndG2532 the second beast performedG4160 greatG3173 signsG4592, evenG2532 causingG4160 fireG4442 fromG1537 heavenG3772 to come downG2597 toG1519 earthG1093 in the presenceG1799 of the peopleG444. 14Because ofG1223 theG3588 signsG4592 itG846 was givenG1325 to performG4160 on behalfG1799 of theG3588 first beastG2342, it deceivedG4105 those whoG3588 dwellG2730 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093, tellingG3004 them to makeG4160 an imageG1504 to theG3588 beastG2342 thatG3739 had been woundedG2192G3588G4127 by theG3588 swordG3162 and yetG2532 had livedG2198. 15The second beast was permittedG1325G846 to giveG1325 breathG4151 to theG3588 imageG1504 of theG3588 first beastG2342, so thatG2443 theG3588 imageG1504 could speakG2532G2980 andG2532 causeG4160 all whoG3745 refused to worshipG1437G3361G4352 it to be killedG615.
16AndG2532 the second beast requiredG4160 allG3956 people, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, richG4145 andG2532 poorG4434, freeG1658 andG2532 slaveG1401, toG2443 receiveG1325 a markG5480 onG1909 theirG846 rightG1188 handG5495 orG2228 onG1909 theirG846 foreheadG3359, 17so thatG2443 noG3361 oneG5100 couldG1410 buyG59 orG2228 sellG4453 unlessG1487G3361 heG3588 hadG2192 theG3588 markG5480—theG3588 nameG3686 of theG3588 beastG2342 orG2228 theG3588 numberG706 of itsG846 nameG3686.
18HereG5602 isG1510 a call for wisdomG4678: Let theG3588 one who hasG2192 insightG3563 calculateG5585 theG3588 numberG706 of theG3588 beastG2342, forG1063 it isG1510 the numberG706 of a manG444, andG2532 that numberG706 is 666G1812G1835G1803.1
