Rev 13:15

Rev 13:15And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even [fn]speak and cause all who do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

Rev 13:16

Rev 13:16And he causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, [fn]to be given a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,

Rev 13:17

Rev 13:17and he decrees that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Rev 13:18

Rev 13:18Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a [fn]man; and his number is [fn]six hundred and sixty-six.
