Revelation 13:12-18

12He 1exercises all the authority of the first beast 23in his presence. And he makes 4the earth and those who dwell in it to 5worship the first beast, whose 6fatal wound was healed.

13He 7performs great signs, so that he even makes 8fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.

14And he 9deceives 10those who dwell on the earth because of 11the signs which it was given him to perform 1213in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the 14wound of the sword and has come to life.

15And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even 15speak and cause 16as many as do not 17worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16And he causes all, 18the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, 19to be given a 20mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

17and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the 21mark, either 22the name of the beast or 23the number of his name.

1824Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that 25of a man; and his number is 26six hundred and sixty-six.
