15 It was then permitted to breathe life into the beast’s image, so that the beast’s image could speak and [could] have anyone who did not worship it put to death.(A) 16 It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads,(B) 17 so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast’s name or the number that stood for its name.
