Revelation 13:5-18

5There was given to him a mouth 1speaking 2arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for 3forty-two months was given to him. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, 4those who 5dwell in heaven.

7It was also given to him to 6make war with the 7saints and to overcome them, and authority over 8every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. 8All who 9dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone 10whose name has not been 11written 12from the foundation of the world in the 13book of life of 14the Lamb who has been slain. 915If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 1016If anyone 17is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; 18if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is 19the 20perseverance and the faith of the 21saints.

11Then 22I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had 23two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a 24dragon. 12He 25exercises all the authority of the first beast 2627in his presence. And he makes 28the earth and those who dwell in it to 29worship the first beast, whose 30fatal wound was healed. 13He 31performs great signs, so that he even makes 32fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14And he 33deceives 34those who dwell on the earth because of 35the signs which it was given him to perform 3637in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the 38wound 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 39speak and cause 40as many as do not 41worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16And he causes all, 42the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, 43to be given a 44mark 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 45mark, either 46the name of the beast or 47the number of his name. 1848Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that 49of a man; and his number is 50six hundred and sixty-six.
