Revelation 13

The First Beast

 1And I saw a beast rising out of the sea,^(A) with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and^(B) blasphemous names on its heads. 2And the beast that I saw was^(C) like a leopard; its feet were like^(D) a bear’s, and its mouth was like^(E) a lion’s mouth. And to it^(F) the dragon gave his power and^(G) his throne and great authority. 3One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and^(H) the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying,^(I) "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?" 5And the beast was given^(J) a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for^(K) forty-two months. 6It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,^[a] that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7Also it was allowed^(L) to make war on the saints and to conquer them.^[b] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8and all^(M) who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in^(N) the book of life of^(O) the Lamb^(P) who was slain. 9^(Q) If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
 10^(R) If anyone is to be taken captive,
   to captivity he goes;
^(S) if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
   with the sword must he be slain.      ^(T) Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.Footnotes:
