* Then I stood on the sand of the sea . And I saw a Beast coming up out of the sea , having seven heads and ten horns , and on his horns ten crowns , and on his heads blasphemous names . * And the Beast which I saw was like a leopard , his feet were like the feet of a bear , and his mouth like the mouth of a lion . The dragon gave him his power , his throne , and great authority . * And one of his heads [was ]as if it had been slain to death , and his wound of death was healed . And the whole world marveled after the Beast . * And they worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the Beast ; and they worshipped the Beast , saying , "Who is like the beast ? Who is able to make war with him ?" * And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemy , and authority was given to him to make war for forty-two months . * Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God , to blaspheme His name , and His dwelling , and those who dwell in heaven . * And it was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them . And authority was given him over every tribe , people , language , and nation . * And all those who dwell on the earth shall worship him , whose name is not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world . * If anyone has an ear , let him hear . * If anyone has captivity , he goes away ; if anyone [is ] with [the ] sword , he must be killed . Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints . * Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth , and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon . * And he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him , and he causes the earth and those who dwell in it , to worship the first Beast , whose deadly wound was healed . * And he works great signs , so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth before men . * And he deceives my own [people ] who dwell on the earth by the signs which were given to him to do before the Beast , saying to those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound-and came to life ! -from the sword . * And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the beast , that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed . * And he causes all , small and great , rich and poor , free and bond , that they should receive marks on their right hand , or on their foreheads , * and that no one may buy or sell except he that has the mark , the name of the beast , or the number of his name . * Here is wisdom . Let him that has understanding calculate the number of the beast , for it is [the ] number of man-his number is 666 .
