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

And he made all men, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hands, or in their foreheads.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath wit count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred, threescore and six.

and all that dwell upon the earth worshipped him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb, which was killed from the beginning of the world.

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

and I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered at the beast,

And there was a mouth given unto him that spake great things, and blasphemies, and power was given unto him, to continue forty two months.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindred, tongue, and nation:

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

And the beast which I saw, was like a cat of the mountain, 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:

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 war with him?"

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

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

And he did great wonders, so that he made fire come down from heaven in the sight of men.

And he did all that the first beast could do in his presence, and he caused the earth, and them which dwell therein, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And deceived them that dwelt on the earth, by the means of those signs which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwelt on the earth: that they should make an image unto the beast, which had the wound of a sword, and did live.

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

If any man have an ear, let him hear.
