Revelation 13:12-17

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

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

14And he 9deceives 10those who live on the earth because of 11the signs which it was given him to perform 1213in the presence of the beast, telling those who live 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 16all who do not 17worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16And he causes all, 18the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, 19to be given a 20mark 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 21mark, either 22the name of the beast or 23the number of his name.
