13:11-18:
 Then I saw another animal coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a
lamb, but he talked like a giant snake.
12This animal stands before the first animal and uses the same power that the
first animal has. He uses this power to make all the people living on the earth
worship the first animal. The first animal was the one that had the death wound
that was healed.
13This second animal does great miracles. He even makes fire come down from
heaven to earth while people are watching.
14This second animal fools the people that live on the earth. He fools them by
using the miracles that he has been given the power to do. He does these
miracles to serve the first animal. The second animal ordered people to make an
idol4 to honor the first animal. This was the animal that was wounded by the
sword but did not die.
15The second animal was given power to give life to the idol of the first
animal. Then the idol could speak and order all the people who did not worship
it to be killed.
16The second animal also forced all people, small and great, rich and poor,
free and slave, to have a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.
17No person could buy or sell without this mark. This mark is the name of the
animal or the number of his name.
18A person that has understanding can find the meaning of the animal's number.
This requires wisdom. This number is the number of a man. It is 666. (ERV)
 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like
unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he
maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose
death-stroke was healed.
13And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of
heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.
14And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it
was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the
earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the
sword and lived.
15And it was given (unto him) to give breath to it, (even) to the image of the
beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as
should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and
the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or
upon their forehead;
17and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark,
(even) the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the
beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty
and six.
(ASV)
 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns
like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth
the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed.
13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on
the earth in the sight of men,
14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles
which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on
the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of
the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed.
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of
the beast, or the number of his name.
18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore
and six.

And
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and
he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a
dragon. 12And he exercises all the
authority of the first beast in his presence. And he
makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship
the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
13And he performs great signs, so that he even
makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in
the presence of men. 14And he deceives
those who dwell on the earth because of the signs
which it was given him to perform in the presence of
the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to
make an image to the beast who had the wound of the
sword and has come to life. 15And there
was given to him to give breath to the image of the
beast, that the image of the beast might even speak
and cause as many as do not worship the image of the
beast to be killed. 16And he causes all,
the small and the great, and the rich and the poor,
and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark
on their right hand, or on their forehead, 17and
he provides that no one should be able to buy or to
sell, except the one who has the mark, either the
name of the beast or the number of his name. 18Here
is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate
the number of the beast, for the number is that of a
man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
