Revelation 13:11-18

11Then 1I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had 2two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a 3dragon.

12He 4exercises all the authority of the first beast 56in his presence. And he makes 7the earth and those who live on it 8worship the first beast, whose 9fatal wound was healed.

13He 10performs great signs, so that he even makes 11fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the presence of people.

14And he 12deceives 13those who live on the earth because of 14the signs which it was given him to perform 1516in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the 17wound 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 18speak and cause 19all who do not 20worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16And he causes all, 21the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, 22to be given a 23mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,

17and he decrees that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the 24mark, either 25the name of the beast or 26the number of his name.

1827Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that 28of a 29man; and his number is 30six hundred and sixty-six.
