CHAPTER 13

:1  And I stood <G 2476> upon the sand <G 0285> of the sea <G

2281>, and saw <G

1492> a beast <G 2342> rise <G 0305> up out of the sea <G 2281>,

having <G 2192>

seven <G 2033> heads <G 2776> and ten <G 1176> horns <G 2768>,

and upon his

horns <G 2768> ten <G 1176> crowns <G 1238>, and upon his heads

<G 2776> the

name <G 3686> of blasphemy <G 0988>.

:2  And the beast <G 2342> which <G 3739> I saw <G 1492> was

like <G 3664> unto

a leopard <G 3917>, and his feet <G 4228> were as [the feet <G

4228>] of a bear

<G 0715>, and his mouth <G 4750> as the mouth <G 4750> of a lion

<G 3023>: and

the dragon <G 1404> gave <G 1325> him his power <G 1411>, and

his seat <G 2362>,

and great <G 3173> authority <G 1849>.

:3  And I saw <G 1492> one <G 3391> of his heads <G 2776> as it

were wounded <G

4969> to death <G 2288>; and his deadly <G 2288> wound <G 4127>

was healed <G

2323>: and all <G 3650> the world <G 1093> wondered <G 1839>

after <G 3694> the

beast <G 2342>.

:4  And they worshipped <G 4352> the dragon <G 1404> which <G

3739> gave <G

1325> power <G 1849> unto the beast <G 2342>: and they

worshipped <G 4352> the

beast <G 2342>, saying <G 3004>, Who <G 5101> [is] like <G 3664>

unto the beast

<G 2342>? who <G 5101> is able <G 1410> to make <G 4170> war <G

4170> with him?

:5  And there was given <G 1325> unto him a mouth <G 4750>

speaking <G 2980>

great <G 3173> things and blasphemies <G 0988>; and power <G

1849> was given <G

1325> unto him to continue <G 4160> forty <G 5062> [and] two <G

1417> months <G

3376>.

:6  And he opened <G 0455> his mouth <G 4750> in blasphemy <G

0988> against <G

4314> God <G 2316>, to blaspheme <G 0987> his name <G 3686>, and

his tabernacle

<G 4633>, and them that dwell <G 4637> in heaven <G 3772>.

:7  And it was given <G 1325> unto him to make <G 4160> war <G

4171> with the

saints <G 0040>, and to overcome <G 3528> them: and power <G

1849> was given <G

1325> him over <G 1909> all <G 3956> kindreds <G 5443>, and

tongues <G 1100>,

and nations <G 1484>.

:8  And all <G 3956> that dwell <G 2730> upon the earth <G 1093>

shall worship

<G 4352> him, whose <G 3739> names <G 3686> are not written <G

1125> in the book

<G 0976> of life <G 2222> of the Lamb <G 0721> slain <G 4969>

from the

foundation <G 2602> of the world <G 2889>.

:9  If <G 1487> any <G 1536> man have <G 2192> an ear <G 3775>,

let him hear <G

0191>.

:10  He that leadeth <G 4863> into captivity <G 0161> shall go

<G 5217> into <G

1519> captivity <G 0161>: he that killeth <G 0615> with the

sword <G 3162> must

<G 1163> be killed <G 0615> with the sword <G 3162>. Here <G

5602> is the

patience <G 5281> and the faith <G 4102> of the saints <G 0040>.

:11  And I beheld <G 1492> another <G 0243> beast <G 2342>

coming <G 0305> up

out of the earth <G 1093>; and he had <G 2192> two <G 1417>

horns <G 2768> like

<G 3664> a lamb <G 0721>, and he spake <G 2980> as a dragon <G

1404>.

:12  And he exerciseth <G 4160> all <G 3956> the power <G 1849>

of the first <G

4413> beast <G 2342> before <G 1799> him, and causeth <G 4160>

the earth <G

1093> and them which dwell <G 2730> therein <G 0846> to worship

<G 4352> the

first <G 4413> beast <G 2342>, whose <G 3739> deadly <G 2288>

wound <G 4127> was

healed <G 2323>.

:13  And he doeth <G 4160> great <G 3173> wonders <G 4592>, so

<G 2443> that he

maketh <G 4160> fire <G 4442> come <G 2597> down <G 2597> from

heaven <G 3772>

on <G 1519> the earth <G 1093> in the sight <G 1799> of men <G

0444>,

:14  And deceiveth <G 4105> them that dwell <G 2730> on <G 1909>

the earth <G

1093> by [the means of] those <G 3588> miracles <G 4592> which

<G 3739> he had

power <G 1325> to do <G 4160> in the sight <G 1799> of the beast

<G 2342>;

saying <G 3004> to them that dwell <G 2730> on <G 1909> the

earth <G 1093>, that

they should make <G 4160> an image <G 1504> to the beast <G

2342>, which <G

3739> had <G 2192> the wound <G 4127> by a sword <G 3162>, and

did live <G

2198>.

:15  And he had power <G 1325> to give <G 1325> life <G 4151>

unto the image <G

1504> of the beast <G 2342>, that the image <G 1504> of the

beast <G 2342>

should both <G 2532> speak <G 2980>, and cause <G 4160> that as

many <G 3745> as

would not worship <G 4352> the image <G 1504> of the beast <G

2342> should be

killed <G 0615>.

:16  And he causeth <G 4160> all <G 3956>, both small <G 3398>

and great <G

3173>, rich <G 4145> and poor <G 4434>, free <G 1658> and bond

<G 1401>, to

receive <G 1325> a mark <G 5480> in their right <G 1188> hand <G

5495>, or <G

2228> in their foreheads <G 3359>:

:17  And that no <G 3361> man <G 5100> might <G 1410> buy <G

0059> or <G 2228>

sell <G 4453>, save <G 1508> he that had <G 2192> the mark <G

5480>, or <G 2228>

the name <G 3686> of the beast <G 2342>, or <G 2228> the number

<G 0706> of his

name <G 3686>.

:18  Here <G 5602> is wisdom <G 4678>. Let him that hath <G

2192> understanding

<G 3563> count <G 5585> the number <G 0706> of the beast <G

2342>: for it is the

number <G 0706> of a man <G 0444>; and his number <G 0706> [is]

Six <G 1803>

hundred <G 1812> threescore <G 1835> [and] six <G 1803>.
