16 And it makes everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,(A) 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast’s name or the number of its name.

18 This calls for wisdom:[a](B) Let the one who has understanding calculate[b] the number of the beast, because it is the number of a person. Its number is 666.[c]

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion,(C) and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.(D)
