Revelation 13:15-17

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁵ It was given power to make the idol of the beast live. The idol of the beast could speak and command all those who would not worship the idol to be killed.

¹⁶ It makes all the people take a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads. That means all people, those who are great and those who are not great, the poor, free men, and slaves.

¹⁷ No one could buy or sell anything if he did not have this mark. This mark is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
