Revelation 13:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 He also performs great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in front of people. 14 He deceives those who live on the earth(A) because of the signs that he is permitted to perform on behalf of the beast,(B) telling those who live on the earth to make an image[a] of the beast who had the sword wound and yet lived. 15 He was permitted to give a spirit[b] to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
