Revelation 13:11-18 GW ...I saw another beast come from the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb. It talked like a serpent. (12) The second beast uses all the authority of the first beast in its presence. The second beast makes the earth and those living on it worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. (13) The second beast performs spectacular signs. It even makes fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people. (14) It deceives those living on earth with the signs that it is allowed to do in front of the first beast. It tells those living on earth to make a statue for the beast who was wounded by a sword and yet lived. (15) The second beast was allowed to put breath into the statue of the first beast. Then the statue of the first beast could talk and put to death whoever would not worship it. (16) The second beast forces all people-important and unimportant people, rich and poor people, free people and slaves-to be branded on their right hands or on their foreheads. (17) It does this so that no one may buy or sell unless he has the brand, which is the beast's name or the number of its name. (18) In this situation wisdom is needed. Let the person who has insight figure out the number of the beast, because it is a human number. The beast's number is 666.
Revelation 13:11-18 GNB ...Then I saw another beast, which came up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb's horns, and it spoke like a dragon. (12) It used the vast authority of the first beast in its presence. It forced the earth and all who live on it to worship the first beast, whose wound had healed. (13) This second beast performed great miracles; it made fire come down out of heaven to earth in the sight of everyone. (14) And it deceived all the people living on earth by means of the miracles which it was allowed to perform in the presence of the first beast. The beast told them to build an image in honor of the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet lived. (15) The second beast was allowed to breathe life into the image of the first beast, so that the image could talk and put to death all those who would not worship it. (16) The beast forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, slave and free, to have a mark placed on their right hands or on their foreheads. (17) No one could buy or sell without this mark, that is, the beast's name or the number that stands for the name. (18) This calls for wisdom. Whoever is intelligent can figure out the meaning of the number of the beast, because the number stands for the name of someone. Its number is 666.
Revelation 13:11-18 LITV ...And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. And it had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. (12) And it executes all the authority of the first beast before it. And it causes that the earth and those dwelling in it should worship the first beast, of which was healed its deadly wound. (13) And it does great signs, that it even causes fire to come down out of the heaven onto the earth before men. (14) And it deceives those dwelling on the earth, because of the signs which were given to it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword, and lived. (15) And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. (16) And the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves, it causes that they give to them all a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads, (17) even that not any could buy or sell, except the one having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of its name. (18) Here is wisdom: Let the one having reason count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and its number is six hundred and sixty six.
Revelation 13:11-18 NWT ...And I saw another wild beast ascending out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, but it began speaking as a dragon. 12 And it exercises all the authority of the first wild beast in its sight. And it makes the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first wild beast, whose death-stroke got healed. 13 And it performs great signs, so that it should even make fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind. 14 And it misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that were granted it to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived. 15 And there was granted it to give breath to the image of the wild beast, so that the image of the wild beast should both speak and cause to be killed all those who would not in any way worship the image of the wild beast. 16 And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, 17 and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
