Revelation 13:11-18
International Standard Version
11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it talked like a dragon. 12 It uses all the authority of the first beast on its behalf,[a] and it makes the earth and those living on it worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs spectacular signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people. 14 It deceives those living on earth with the signs that it is allowed to do on behalf of[b] the first[c] beast, telling them to make an image for the beast who was wounded by a sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast[d] was allowed to impart life to the image of the first[e] beast so that the image of the beast could talk and order the execution of those who would not worship the image of the beast. 16 The second beast[f] forces all people—important and unimportant, rich and poor, free and slaves—to be marked on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that no one may buy or sell unless he has the mark, which is the beast’s name or the number of its name.
18 In this case wisdom is needed: Let the person who has understanding[g] calculate[h] the total[i] of the beast, since it is a human multitude,[j] and the sum of the multitude[k] is 600, 60, and six.[l]
