013:015 And power was granted him to give breath to the statue of the Wild Beast, so that the statue of the Wild Beast could even speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to be put to death.
013:016 And he causes all, small and great, rich and poor, free men
and slaves, to have stamped upon them a mark on their right
hands or on their foreheads,
013:017 in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless
he had the mark—either the name of the Wild Beast or the number
which his name represents.
013:018 Here is scope for ingenuity. Let people of shrewd intelligence
calculate the number of the Wild Beast; for it indicates
a certain man, and his number is 666.
014:001 Then I looked, and I saw the Lamb standing upon Mount Zion,
and with Him 144,000 people, having His name and His Father's
name written on their foreheads.
014:002 And I heard music from Heaven which resembled the sound of many
waters and the roar of loud thunder; and the music which I
heard was like that of harpists playing upon their harps.
014:003 And they were singing what seemed to be a new song, in front
of the throne and in the presence of the four living creatures
and the Elders; and no one was able to learn that song except
the 144,000 people who had been redeemed out of the world.
014:004 These are those who had not defiled themselves with women:
they are as pure as virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
They have been redeemed from among men, as firstfruits to God
and to the Lamb.
014:005 And no lie has ever been found upon their lips: they are faultless.
014:006 And I saw another angel flying across the sky, carrying the Good News
of the Ages to tell to every nation, tribe, language and people,
among those who live on the earth.
