Revelation of John 13

The Beast from the Sea

1And the dragon stood on the sand of the
Lit sea

Then I saw a b  beast coming up out of the sea, having c  ten horns and d  seven heads, and on his horns were e  ten diadems, and on his heads were f  blasphemous names.
2And the beast which I saw was g  like a leopard, and his feet were like those of h  a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of i  a lion. And the j  dragon gave him his power and his k  throne and great authority. 3I saw one of his heads as if it had been
Lit slaughtered to death
slain, and his m  fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth n  was amazed and followed after the beast;
4they worshiped the o  dragon because he p  gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying q  Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” 5There was given to him a mouth r  speaking
Lit great things
arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for t  forty-two months was given to him.
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is u  those who
Or tabernacle
dwell in heaven.

7It was also given to him to w  make war with the
Or holy ones
saints and to overcome them, and authority over y  every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
8All who z  dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone aa  whose name has not been
Or written in the book...slain from the foundation of the world
written ac  from the foundation of the world in the ad  book of life of ae  the Lamb who has been slain.
9 af  If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 ag  If anyone
Or leads into captivity
is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; ai  if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is aj  the
Or steadfastness
perseverance and the faith of the
Or holy ones

The Beast from the Earth

11Then am  I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had an  two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a ao  dragon. 12He ap  exercises all the authority of the first beast
Or by his authority
ar  in his presence. And he makes as  the earth and those who dwell in it to at  worship the first beast, whose au  fatal wound was healed.
13He av  performs great signs, so that he even makes aw  fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14And he ax  deceives ay  those who dwell on the earth because of az  the signs which it was given him to perform
Or by the authority of
bb  in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the bc  wound of the sword and has come to life.
