Revelation 13
New King James Version
The Beast from the Sea
13 Then [a]I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw (A)a beast rising up out of the sea, (B)having [b]seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a (C)blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The (D)dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads (E)as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And (F)all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, (G)“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
5 And he was given (H)a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to [c]continue for (I)forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, (J)His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him (K)to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And (L)authority was given him over every [d]tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, (M)whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain (N)from the foundation of the world.
9 (O)If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 (P)He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; (Q)he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. (R)Here is the [e]patience and the faith of the saints.
The Beast from the Earth
11 Then I saw another beast (S)coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, (T)whose deadly wound was healed. 13 (U)He performs great signs, (V)so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 (W)And he deceives [f]those who dwell on the earth (X)by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword (Y)and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak (Z)and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, (AA)to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has [g]the mark or (AB)the name of the beast, (AC)or the number of his name.
18 (AD)Here is wisdom. Let him who has (AE)understanding calculate (AF)the number of the beast, (AG)for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
13 Y el dragón se plantó[a] a la orilla del mar.
La bestia que surge del mar
Entonces vi que del mar subía una bestia, la cual tenía diez cuernos y siete cabezas. En cada cuerno tenía una diadema, y en cada cabeza un nombre blasfemo contra Dios. 2 La bestia parecía un leopardo, pero tenía patas como de oso y fauces como de león. El dragón le confirió a la bestia su poder, su trono y gran autoridad. 3 Una de las cabezas de la bestia parecía haber sufrido una herida mortal, pero esa herida ya había sido sanada. El mundo entero, fascinado, iba tras la bestia 4 y adoraba al dragón porque había dado su autoridad a la bestia. También adoraban a la bestia y decían: «¿Quién como la bestia? ¿Quién puede combatirla?»
5 A la bestia se le permitió hablar con arrogancia y proferir blasfemias contra Dios, y se le confirió autoridad para actuar durante cuarenta y dos meses. 6 Abrió la boca para blasfemar contra Dios, para maldecir su nombre y su morada y a los que viven en el cielo. 7 También se le permitió hacer la guerra a los santos y vencerlos, y se le dio autoridad sobre toda raza, pueblo, lengua y nación. 8 A la bestia la adorarán todos los habitantes de la tierra, aquellos cuyos nombres no han sido escritos en el libro de la vida, el libro del Cordero que fue sacrificado desde la creación del mundo.[b]
9 El que tenga oídos, que oiga.
10 El que deba ser llevado cautivo,
a la cautividad irá.
El que deba morir[c] a espada,
a filo de espada morirá.
¡En esto consisten[d] la perseverancia y la fidelidad de los santos!
La bestia que sube de la tierra
11 Después vi que de la tierra subía otra bestia. Tenía dos cuernos como de cordero, pero hablaba como dragón. 12 Ejercía toda la autoridad de la primera bestia en presencia de ella, y hacía que la tierra y sus habitantes adoraran a la primera bestia, cuya herida mortal había sido sanada. 13 También hacía grandes señales milagrosas, incluso la de hacer caer fuego del cielo a la tierra, a la vista de todos. 14 Con estas señales que se le permitió hacer en presencia de la primera bestia, engañó a los habitantes de la tierra. Les ordenó que hicieran una imagen en honor de la bestia que, después de ser herida a espada, revivió. 15 Se le permitió infundir vida a la imagen de la primera bestia, para que hablara y mandara matar a quienes no adoraran la imagen. 16 Además logró que a todos, grandes y pequeños, ricos y pobres, libres y esclavos, se les pusiera una marca en la mano derecha o en la frente, 17 de modo que nadie pudiera comprar ni vender, a menos que llevara la marca, que es el nombre de la bestia o el número de ese nombre.
18 En esto consiste[e] la sabiduría: el que tenga entendimiento, calcule el número de la bestia, pues es número de un ser humano: seiscientos sesenta y seis.

Revelation 13
English Standard Version
The First Beast
13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, (A)with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and (B)blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was (C)like a leopard; its feet were like (D)a bear's, and its mouth was like (E)a lion's mouth. And to it (F)the dragon gave his power and (G)his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and (H)the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, (I)“Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
5 And the beast was given (J)a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for (K)forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[a] that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed (L)to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[b] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all (M)who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in (N)the book of life of (O)the Lamb (P)who was slain. 9 (Q)If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 (R)If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
(S)if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
(T)Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
The Second Beast
11 Then (U)I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[c] and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, (V)whose mortal wound was healed. 13 (W)It performs great signs, even (X)making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of[d] the beast (Y)it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast (Z)that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not (AA)worship the image of the beast (AB)to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[e] (AC)to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, (AD)the name of the beast or (AE)the number of its name. 18 (AF)This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number (AG)of a man, and his number is 666.[f]
