The First Beast
1 Then *I 87.1% ¦ he CT 11.5% {Note: In CT the words Then he stood on the sand of the sea are found in 12:18.}I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea that had †ten horns and seven heads 96.3% ¦ seven heads and ten horns TR 1.4%ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns and ‡blasphemous names 73.8% ¦ a blasphemous name NA TH TR 25.4%blasphemous names on his heads. 2 The beast I saw was like a leopard; his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 §One 93.5% ¦ I saw that one TR 5.5%One of the beast's heads appeared to be mortally wounded. But his mortal wound had been healed, and *the whole world was amazed and 77.3% ¦ it was marveled at in all the earth, and they ST 16.4%the whole world was amazed and followed the beast. 4 They worshiped the dragon †that 62.4% ¦ because he CT 28%that had given ‡his 91.7% ¦ — TR 2.3%his authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against him?”
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter great boasts and §blasphemy 56.6% ¦ blasphemies CT TR 31.4%blasphemy, and he was *given authority to wage war 69.3% ¦ permitted to exercise authority CT TR 23.9%given authority to wage war for forty-two months. 6 And he opened his mouth to utter †blasphemy 85.5% ¦ blasphemies CT 10.1%blasphemy against God and to slander his ‡name and his tabernacle, that is, 65% ¦ name, his tabernacle, and TR 33.2%name and his tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 He was permitted to wage war against the saints and conquer them, and he was given authority over every tribe, §people, 70.5% ¦ — PCK TR 28.1%people, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, *everyone whose name has 75.1% ¦ whose names have TR 24%everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 “If anyone †has captivity as his lot, away he goes; 55.3% ¦ is assigned to captivity, away he goes; NA TH 20.7% ¦ goes away to captivity, MSS 6.5% ¦ leads others into captivity, MSS 5.5% ¦ leads others away into captivity, into captivity he goes; ANT 3.7% ¦ leads others into captivity, into captivity he goes; TR 0.9% ¦ is assigned to captivity, into captivity he goes; SBL WH 0.5%has captivity as his lot,

with the sword he must be killed.”
This calls for the endurance and the faith of the saints.
The Second Beast
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and made the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed. 13 He performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the presence of the people. 14 By the signs he was permitted to do in the presence of the first beast, he deceived §my own people 46.6% ¦ those ANT CT TR 50.2%my own people who dwell on the earth, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image of the first beast, who had *a 59% ¦ the ANT CT PCK RP TR 39.8%a wound from the sword but still lived. 15 The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause whoever refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 The second beast required everyone, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the †mark, that is, 78.9% ¦ mark of 8.7% ¦ mark, or TR 3.2%mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 This calls for wisdom: Let anyone who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; his number is six hundred sixty-six.
