8And then dthe lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus ewill kill with fthe breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by gthe appearance of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan hwith all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for ithose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

The Second Beast

11Then nI 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, pwhose mortal wound was healed.
13 qIt performs great signs, even rmaking 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 tit deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast uthat 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 vworship the image of the beast wto be slain. 16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,
Greek bondservant
yto be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, zthe name of the beast or aathe number of its name. 18 abThis calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number acof a man, and his number is 666.
