MLV(i)
12 And he practiced all the authority of the first beast in his sight and was making the earth and those who are dwelling in it in order that they should worship the first beast, whose wound of death was healed.
13 And he does great signs, even makes fire in order that it might come down from heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.
14 And the one who is misleading those of mine who are dwelling upon the earth because of the signs which was given to him to do in the sight of the beast, saying to those who dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, who was holding the wound of death from the sword and lived.
15 And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast should speak and in order that it should make as many as would not worship to the image of the beast in order that they should be killed.
16 And he makes all, the little and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, in order that there may be marks given to them upon their right hand or upon their foreheads;
17 and in order that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except he who has the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
