Revelation 13:11-18

New Matthew Bible

¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as did the dragon. ¹² And he did all that the first beast could do in his presence. And he caused the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. ¹³ And he did great wonders, so that he made fire come down from heaven in the sight of men, ¹⁴ and deceived those who dwelt on the earth by means of those signs that he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to those who dwelt on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound of a sword and did live.

¹⁵ And he had power to give a spirit to the image of the beast, and that the image of the beast should speak, and should cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. ¹⁶ And he made all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, receive a mark in their right hands or in their foreheads. ¹⁷ And no one could buy or sell except one who had the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
