New American Standard Bible 2020

The Beast from the Sea

1And the dragon stoodG2476 on the sandG285 of the 1seashoreG2281.

ThenG2532 I sawG3708 a 2beastG2342 comingG305 upG305 out of the seaG2281, havingG2192 3tenG1176 hornsG2768 and 4sevenG2033 headsG2776, and on his hornsG2768 were 5tenG1176 crownsG1238, and on his headsG2776 were 6blasphemousG988 namesG3686. 2And the beastG2342 that I sawG3708 was 7likeG3664 a leopardG3917, and his feetG4228 were likeG3664 those of 8a bearG715, and his mouthG4750 likeG5613 the mouthG4750 of 9a lionG3023. And the 10dragonG1404 gaveG1325 him his powerG1411 and his 11throneG2362, and greatG3173 authorityG1849. 3I saw oneG1520 of his headsG2776 as ifG5613 it had beenG4969 12fatallyG2288 woundedG4969, and his 13fatalG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323. And the wholeG3650 earthG1093 14wasG2296 amazedG2296 and followed afterG3694 the beastG2342; 4they worshipedG4352 the 15dragonG1404 becauseG3754 he 16gaveG1325 his authorityG1849 to the beastG2342; and they worshipedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, “17WhoG5101 is likeG3664 the beastG2342, and whoG5101 is ableG1410 to wageG4170 warG4170 with him?” 5A mouthG4750 was givenG1325 to him 18speakingG2980 19arrogantG3173 words and blasphemiesG988, and authorityG1849 to actG4160 for 20forty-twoG5065G1417 monthsG3376 was givenG1325 to him. 6And he openedG455 his mouthG4750 in blasphemiesG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 His nameG3686 and His tabernacleG4633, that is, 21thoseG3588 who dwellG4637 in heavenG3772.

7It was alsoG2532 givenG1325 to him to 22makeG4160 warG4171 with the 23saintsG40 and to overcomeG3528 them, and authorityG1849 was givenG1325 to him overG1909 24everyG3956 tribeG5443, peopleG2992, languageG1100, and nationG1484. 8AllG3956 who 25liveG2730 on the earthG1093 will worshipG4352 him, everyone 26whoseG3739 nameG3686 has not been 27writtenG1125 28sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889 in the 29bookG975 of lifeG2222 of 30the LambG721 who has been slaughteredG4969. 931IfG1487 anyoneG5100 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191. 1032IfG1487 anyoneG5100 33is destined for captivityG161, to captivityG161 he goesG5217; 34ifG1487 anyoneG5100 killsG615 with the swordG3162, with the swordG3162 he mustG1163 be killedG615. HereG5602 is 35the 36perseveranceG5281 and the faithG4102 of the 37saintsG40.

The Beast from the Earth

11ThenG2532 38I sawG3708 anotherG243 beastG2342 comingG305 upG305 out of the earthG1093; and he hadG2192 39twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, and he spokeG2980 as a 40dragonG1404. 12He 41exercisesG4160 allG3956 the authorityG1849 of the firstG4413 beastG2342 4243inG1799 his presenceG1799. And he makesG4160 44the earthG1093 and thoseG3588 who liveG2730 on it 45worshipG4352 the firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739 46fatalG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323. 13He 47performsG4160 greatG3173 signsG4592, soG2443 thatG2443 he evenG2532 makesG4160 48fireG4442 comeG2597 downG2597 out of the skyG3772 to the earthG1093 inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 peopleG444. 14And he 49deceivesG4105 50thoseG3588 who liveG2730 on the earthG1093 becauseG1223 of 51the signsG4592 whichG3739 it was givenG1325 him to performG4160 5253inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 the beastG2342, tellingG3004 thoseG3588 who liveG2730 on the earthG1093 to makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG2342 whoG3739 hadG2192 the 54woundG4127 of the swordG3162 and has comeG2198 toG2198 lifeG2198. 15And it was givenG1325 to him to giveG1325 breathG4151 to the imageG1504 of the beastG2342, soG2443 thatG2443 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 would evenG2532 55speakG2980 and causeG4160 56allG3745 whoG3745 do not 57worshipG4352 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 to be killedG615. 16And he causesG4160 allG3956, 58the smallG3398 and the greatG3173, the richG4145 and the poorG4434, and the freeG1658 and the slavesG1401, 59to be givenG1325 a 60markG5480 on their rightG1188 handsG5495 orG2228 on their foreheadsG3359, 17and he decrees that noG3761 oneG5100 will be ableG1410 to buyG59 orG2228 to sellG4453, exceptG1508 the one who hasG2192 the 61markG5480, either 62the nameG3686 of the beastG2342 orG2228 63the numberG706 of his nameG3686. 1864HereG5602 is wisdomG4678. Let him who hasG2192 understandingG3563 calculateG5585 the numberG706 of the beastG2342, for the numberG706 is that 65of a 66manG444; and his numberG706 is 67sixG1812 hundredG1812 and sixty-sixG1812G1835G1803.
