The Second Beast

11Then fI saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,
Or on its behalf
and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, hwhose mortal wound was healed.
13 iIt performs great signs, even jmaking fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of
Or on behalf of
the beast lit deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast mthat was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15And 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 nworship the image of the beast oto be slain. 16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,

qto be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, rthe name of the beast or sthe number of its name.
