The Second Beast

11Then apI 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, arwhose mortal wound was healed.
13 asIt performs great signs, even atmaking 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 avit deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast awthat 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 axworship the image of the beast ayto be slain. 16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,

bato be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, bbthe name of the beast or bcthe number of its name. 18 bdThis calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number beof a man, and his number is 666.
