Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:2 - Now 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.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:9 - If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:10 - He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:14 - And he deceives those[fn] who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:15 - He was granted power 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:16 - He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:17 - and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or[fn] the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
