The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 13
{13:1} Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up
out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were
ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. {13:2} The beast
which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a
bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his
power, his throne, and great authority. {13:3} One of his heads looked
like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the
whole earth marveled at the beast. {13:4} They worshiped the dragon,
because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the
beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with
him?" {13:5} A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to
him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.
{13:6} He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his
name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven. {13:7} It was given
to him to make war with the holy ones, and to overcome them. Authority
over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
{13:8} All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose
name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book
of life of the Lamb who has been killed. {13:9} If anyone has an ear,
let him hear. {13:10} [1>]If anyone is to go into captivity, he will
go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must
be killed.[<1] Here is the endurance and the faith of the holy ones.
{13:11} I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two
horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. {13:12} He exercises
all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the
earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose
fatal wound was [2>]healed.[<2] {13:13} He performs great signs, even
making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of
people. {13:14} He deceives [3>]my own[<3] people who dwell on the
earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast;
saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image
to the beast who had the sword wound and lived. {13:15} It was given
to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image
of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship
the image of the beast to be killed. {13:16} He causes all, the small
and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to
be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads; {13:17}
and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that
mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name. {13:18} Here is
wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the
beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred
sixty-six.

sword." instead of "If anyone has captivity, he will go into captivity.
If anyone is with the sword, he must be killed."
