  啟示錄十三1我又看見一個獸從海中上來,有十角七頭,在十角上戴著十個冠冕,七頭上有褻瀆的名號。

  啟示錄十三2我所看見的獸,形狀像豹,腳像熊的腳,口像獅子的口;那龍將自己的能力、座位和大權柄,都給了它。

  Rev.13:2AndthebeastwhichIsawwaslikealeopard,andhisfeetlikethoseofabear,andhismouthlikethemouthofalion.Andthedragongavehimhispowerandhisthroneandgreatauthority.

  啟示錄十三3獸的七頭中,有一頭似乎被殺至死,但那死傷卻醫好了。全地的人都希奇,就跟從那獸,

  Rev.13:3Andoneofhisheadswasasitwereslaintodeath,andhisdeathstrokewashealed.Andthewholeearthmarveledafterthebeast.

  啟示錄十三4又拜那龍,因為它將權柄給了獸;也拜獸說,誰能比這獸?誰能與它爭戰?

  Rev.13:4Andtheyworshippedthedragonbecausehegavehisauthoritytothebeast;andtheyworshippedthebeast,saying,Whoislikethebeast?Andwhocanmakewarwithhim?
