127So p47Cℵ f 1006 MA eth. A 1611 2053 f 1678 94 MK vg syrh read names of blasphemy.
13: 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and its feet were as the feet of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave it its power, and its throne, and great authority.
13: 3 And I saw one of its heads as though it had been 128smitten unto death; and its death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;
128Gk. slain
13: 4 and they 129worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with it?
129See marginal note on ch. 3:9 (both times). Similarly in vss. 7, 8, 12 and 15.
13: 5 and there was given to it a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to it authority 130to continue forty-two months.
130Or, to do his works during See Dan 11:28.
13: 6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that 131dwell in the heaven.
131Gk. tabernacle in
13: 7 132And there was given to it authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
132So p47CA 2053 MA. But p115ℵ (1611) f 1678,1006 94 MK vg syr(h),ph add And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: [Whether gloss or homoioarcton is uncertain.]
13: 8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been 133written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.
133Or, written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
13: 9 If any man hath an ear, let him hear.
13: 10 134If any man is for captivity, he goeth into captivity: 135if any man shall kill with the sword, so with the sword must he be killed. Here is the 136patience and the faith of the saints.
134So p47,115vidCℵ 1611 2053. 469 792 and a majority of lesser Gk. mss. read If any man holdeth captive, he goeth into captivity: A vg read If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: 2351 syr read If any man leadeth into captivity, into captivity he goeth:
135So C (2053) P 2329 vg (syrph) (cop). ℵ 1611 f 1006 2344 2351 1854 syrh eth read if any man killeth with the sword, so with the sword must he be killed. A alone reads if any man is to be killed with the sword, he by the sword is to be killed. 469 and a majority of lesser Gk. mss. read if any man lives by the sword, so must he be killed.
136Or, stedfastness
13: 11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and it had two horns like unto a lamb, and it spake as a dragon.
13: 12 And it exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in its sight. And it maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, of which the death-stroke was healed.
13: 13 And it doeth great signs, that it should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.
13: 14 And it deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived.
13: 15 And it was given unto it to give 137breath to it, even to the image of the beast, 138that even the image of the beast should speak; and it shall cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
137Or, spirit
138So A f 1006 P f 506 2344 (syrph) copsa. But 1611 94 and a majority of lesser Gk. mss. read that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as etc. ℵ 469 2351 read that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause those that etc.
13: 16 And it causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;
13: 17 139and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of its name.
139So p47Avid f 1678,1006 94 and most lesser Gk. mss., vg eth. But Cℵ 1611 792 syr cop omit and
13: 18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and its number is 140Six hundred sixty-six.
140So p47ℵA 1611 2053 and most. p115C read 616. 2344 reads 665. 256arm reads 366. Lost in translation are inferred alphabetic-numeric significances: χς̓ς (= 600+60+6 = 666; p47 and most minuscules) the symbol of the serpent inserted into χς (abbr. for χριστος, Christ; nominative case; e.g., Christ shall reign). χς̓ε (=665) the same, except in vocative case, χριστε (e.g., Thy name, O Christ, be praised). χχς (= 616) Christ divided. 1854 and a few lesser Gk. mss. append λατεινος [Latin] in margin (suggested by Irenaeus).
