Revelation 13




1.  And I stood * upon the sand of the sea, and saw * a beast rise up * out of the sea, having * seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2.  And the beast which I saw * was * like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear,and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave * him his power, and his seat,and great authority.

3.  And I saw * one of his heads as it were wounded * to death; and his deadly wound was healed * : and all the world wondered * after the beast.

4.  And they worshipped * the dragon which gave * power unto the beast: and they worshipped * the beast, saying * , Who is like unto the beast? who is able * to make war * with him?

5.  And there was given * unto him a mouth speaking * great things and blasphemies; and power was given * unto him to continue * forty and two months.

6.  And he opened * his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme * his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell * in heaven.

7.  And it was given * unto him to make * war with the saints, and to overcome * them: and power was given * him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8.  And all that dwell * upon the earth shall worship * him, whose names are * not written * in the book of life of the Lamb slain * from the foundation of the world.

9.  If any man have * an ear, let him hear * .

10.  He that leadeth * into captivity shall go * into captivity: he that killeth * with the sword must * be killed * with the sword. Here is * the patience and the faith of the saints.

11.  And I beheld * another beast coming up * out of the earth; and he had * two horns like a lamb, and he spake * as a dragon.

12.  And he exerciseth * all the power of the first beast before him,and causeth * the earth and them which dwell * therein to worship * the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed * .

13.  And he doeth * great wonders, so that he maketh * fire come down * from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14.  And deceiveth * them that dwell * on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power * to do * in the sight of the beast; saying * to them that dwell * on the earth, that they should make * an image to the beast, which had * the wound by a sword, and did live * .

15.  And he had power * to give * life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should * both speak * , and cause * that as many as would * not worship * the image of the beast should be killed * .

16.  And he causeth * all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive * a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17.  And that no man might * buy * or sell * , save he that had * the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18.  Here is * wisdom. Let him that hath * understanding count * the number of the beast: for it is * the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six .
