Revelation 13:4-18

4they worshipedG4352 the 1dragonG1404 becauseG3754 he 2gaveG1325 his authorityG1849 to the beastG2342; and they worshipedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, “3WhoG5101 is likeG3664 the beastG2342, and whoG5101 is ableG1410 to wageG4170 warG4170 with him?” 5A mouthG4750 was givenG1325 to him 4speakingG2980 5arrogantG3173 words and blasphemiesG988, and authorityG1849 to actG4160 for 6forty-twoG5065G1417 monthsG3376 was givenG1325 to him. 6And he openedG455 his mouthG4750 in blasphemiesG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 His nameG3686 and His tabernacleG4633, that is, 7thoseG3588 who dwellG4637 in heavenG3772.

7It was alsoG2532 givenG1325 to him to 8makeG4160 warG4171 with the 9saintsG40 and to overcomeG3528 them, and authorityG1849 was givenG1325 to him overG1909 10everyG3956 tribeG5443, peopleG2992, languageG1100, and nationG1484. 8AllG3956 who 11liveG2730 on the earthG1093 will worshipG4352 him, everyone 12whoseG3739 nameG3686 has not been 13writtenG1125 14sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889 in the 15bookG975 of lifeG2222 of 16the LambG721 who has been slaughteredG4969. 917IfG1487 anyoneG5100 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191. 1018IfG1487 anyoneG5100 19is destined for captivityG161, to captivityG161 he goesG5217; 20ifG1487 anyoneG5100 killsG615 with the swordG3162, with the swordG3162 he mustG1163 be killedG615. HereG5602 is 21the 22perseveranceG5281 and the faithG4102 of the 23saintsG40.

11ThenG2532 24I sawG3708 anotherG243 beastG2342 comingG305 upG305 out of the earthG1093; and he hadG2192 25twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, and he spokeG2980 as a 26dragonG1404. 12He 27exercisesG4160 allG3956 the authorityG1849 of the firstG4413 beastG2342 2829inG1799 his presenceG1799. And he makesG4160 30the earthG1093 and thoseG3588 who liveG2730 on it 31worshipG4352 the firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739 32fatalG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323. 13He 33performsG4160 greatG3173 signsG4592, soG2443 thatG2443 he evenG2532 makesG4160 34fireG4442 comeG2597 downG2597 out of the skyG3772 to the earthG1093 inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 peopleG444. 14And he 35deceivesG4105 36thoseG3588 who liveG2730 on the earthG1093 becauseG1223 of 37the signsG4592 whichG3739 it was givenG1325 him to performG4160 3839inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 the beastG2342, tellingG3004 thoseG3588 who liveG2730 on the earthG1093 to makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG2342 whoG3739 hadG2192 the 40woundG4127 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 41speakG2980 and causeG4160 42allG3745 whoG3745 do not 43worshipG4352 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 to be killedG615. 16And he causesG4160 allG3956, 44the smallG3398 and the greatG3173, the richG4145 and the poorG4434, and the freeG1658 and the slavesG1401, 45to be givenG1325 a 46markG5480 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 47markG5480, either 48the nameG3686 of the beastG2342 orG2228 49the numberG706 of his nameG3686. 1850HereG5602 is wisdomG4678. Let him who hasG2192 understandingG3563 calculateG5585 the numberG706 of the beastG2342, for the numberG706 is that 51of a 52manG444; and his numberG706 is 53sixG1812 hundredG1812 and sixty-sixG1812G1835G1803.
