Revelation 13
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
1And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. 2And the beast which I saw was like to a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength, and great power. 3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death: and his deathly wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after the beast. 4And they adored the dragon, which gave power to the beast: and they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast? and who shall be able to fight with him? 5And there was given to him a mouth, speaking great things, and blasphemies: and power was given to him to act forty-two months. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation: 8And all that dwell upon the earth adored him: whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which was slain from the beginning of the world. 9If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10He that shall lead into captivity, shall go into captivity: he that shall kill by the sword, must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns, like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 12And he executed all the power of the former beast in his sight: and he caused the earth, and them that dwell therein, to adore the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13And he did great signs, so that he made even fire to come down from heaven unto the earth in the sight of men. 14And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, by the signs, which were given him to perform in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make the image of the beast, which had the wound by the sword, and lived. 15And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast, and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause, that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast, should be slain. 16And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a mark in their right hand, or on their foreheads. 17And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him reckon the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and his number is six hundred sixty-six.
