WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 και εσταθην επι την αμμον τησ θαλασσησ και ειδον εκ τησ θαλασσησ θηριον αναβαινον εχον κερατα δεκα και κεφαλασ επτα και επι των κερατων αυτου δεκα διαδηματα και επι τασ κεφαλασ αυτου ονοματα βλασφημιασ

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

2 και το θηριον ο ειδον ην ομοιον παρδαλει και οι ποδεσ αυτου ωσ αρκου και το στομα αυτου ωσ στομα λεοντοσ και εδωκεν αυτω ο δρακων την δυναμιν αυτου και τον θρονον αυτου και εξουσιαν μεγαλην

2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

3 και μιαν εκ των κεφαλων αυτου ωσει εσφαγμενην εισ θανατον και η πληγη του θανατου αυτου εθεραπευθη και εθαυμασεν ολη η γη οπισω του θηριου

3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.

4 και προσεκυνησαν τω δρακοντι τω δεδωκοτι την εξουσιαν τω θηριω και προσεκυνησαν τω θηριω λεγοντεσ τισ ομοιοσ τω θηριω και τισ δυνατοσ πολεμησαι μετ αυτου

4 They worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

5 και εδοθη αυτω στομα λαλουν μεγαλα και βλασφημιαν και εδοθη αυτω εξουσια πολεμον ποιησαι μηνασ τεσσαρακοντα δυο

5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

6 και ηνοιξεν το στομα αυτου εισ βλασφημιαν προσ τον θεον βλασφημησαι το ονομα αυτου και την σκηνην αυτου τουσ εν τω ουρανω σκηνουντασ

6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.

7 και εδοθη αυτω ποιησαι πολεμον μετα των αγιων και νικησαι αυτουσ και εδοθη αυτω εξουσια επι πασαν φυλην και λαον και γλωσσαν και εθνοσ

7 It was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.

8 και προσκυνησουσιν αυτω παντεσ οι κατοικουντεσ επι τησ γησ ων ου γεγραπται το ονομα εν τω βιβλιω τησ ζωησ του αρνιου του εσφαγμενου απο καταβολησ κοσμου

8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

9 ει τισ εχει ουσ ακουσατω

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

10 ει τισ εχει αιχμαλωσιαν υπαγει ει τισ εν μαχαιρα αποκτενει δει αυτον εν μαχαιρα αποκτανθηναι ωδε εστιν η υπομονη και η πιστισ των αγιων

10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

11 και ειδον αλλο θηριον αναβαινον εκ τησ γησ και ειχεν κερατα δυο ομοια αρνιω και ελαλει ωσ δρακων

11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

12 και την εξουσιαν του πρωτου θηριου πασαν ποιει ενωπιον αυτου και εποιει την γην και τουσ εν αυτη κατοικουντασ ινα προσκυνησωσιν το θηριον το πρωτον ου εθεραπευθη η πληγη του θανατου αυτου

12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

13 και ποιει σημεια μεγαλα και πυρ ινα εκ του ουρανου καταβαινη επι την γην ενωπιον των ανθρωπων

13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.

14 και πλανα τουσ εμουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ επι τησ γησ δια τα σημεια α εδοθη αυτω ποιησαι ενωπιον του θηριου λεγων τοισ κατοικουσιν επι τησ γησ ποιησαι εικονα τω θηριω ο ειχεν την πληγην και εζησεν απο τησ μαχαιρασ

14 He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

15 και εδοθη αυτω πνευμα δουναι τη εικονι του θηριου ινα και λαληση η εικων του θηριου και ποιηση οσοι εαν μη προσκυνησωσιν τη εικονι του θηριου αποκτανθωσιν

15 It was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16 και ποιει παντασ τουσ μικρουσ και τουσ μεγαλουσ και τουσ πλουσιουσ και τουσ πτωχουσ και τουσ ελευθερουσ και τουσ δουλουσ ινα δωσωσιν αυτοισ χαραγματα επι τησ χειροσ αυτων τησ δεξιασ η επι το μετωπον αυτων

16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads;

17 και ινα μη τισ δυναται αγορασαι η πωλησαι ει μη ο εχων το χαραγμα το ονομα του θηριου η τον αριθμον του ονοματοσ αυτου

17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 ωδε η σοφια εστιν ο εχων νουν ψηφισατω τον αριθμον του θηριου αριθμοσ γαρ ανθρωπου εστιν και ο αριθμοσ αυτου εστιν εξακοσια εξηκοντα εξ

18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 13:2 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapters XXVII–XXVIII)
Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints." After this he likewise describes his armour-bearer, whom he also terms a false prophet: "He spake as a dragon, and exercised all the power of the first beast in his sight, and caused the earth, and those that dwell therein, to adore the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Quotes verse 13:8 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXIX)
"There shall give consent to him all they that have not been written in the book of life." So then without doubt they will not consent that have been written.
