¹⁷So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to ^amake war with the rest of her ¹^bchildren, who ^ckeep the commandments of God and ^dhold to the testimony of Jesus.

Chapter 13

The Beast from the Sea

¹And the dragon stood on the sand of the ¹seashore.

Then I saw a ^abeast coming up out of the sea, having ^bten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ^cten diadems, and on his heads were ^dblasphemous names.

²And the beast which I saw was ^alike a leopard, and his feet were like those of ^ba bear, and his mouth like the mouth of ^ca lion. And the ^ddragon gave him his power and his ^ethrone and great authority.

³I saw one of his heads as if it had been ¹slain, and his ^afatal wound was healed. And the whole earth ^bwas amazed and followed after the beast;

⁴they worshiped the ^adragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “^bWho is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?”

⁵There was given to him a mouth ^aspeaking ¹arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for ^bforty-two months was given to him.

⁶And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, ^athose who ¹dwell in heaven.

⁷It was also given to him to ^amake war with the ¹saints and to overcome them, and authority over ^bevery tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.

⁸All who ^adwell on the earth will worship him, everyone ^bwhose name has not been ¹written ^cfrom the foundation of the world in the ^dbook of life of ^ethe Lamb who has been slain.

⁹^aIf anyone has an ear, let him hear.

¹⁰^aIf anyone ¹is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; ^bif anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is ^cthe ²perseverance and the faith of the ³saints.
