Revelation 13:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² He exerts all the power and right of control of the former beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell upon it to exalt and deify the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed, and to worship him.

¹³ He performs great signs (startling miracles), even making fire fall from the sky to the earth in men’s sight.

¹⁴ And because of the signs (miracles) which he is allowed to perform in the presence of the [first] beast, he deceives those who inhabit the earth, commanding them to erect a statue (an image) in the likeness of the beast who was wounded by the [small] sword and still lived.^(A)
