它在头一个兽面前，施行头一个兽一切的权柄，并且叫地和住在地上的人，拜那死伤医好的头一个兽。

- 13:16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

它又叫众人，无论大小贫富，自主的、为奴的，都在右手或额上，受一个印记。
- 13:17 And that no one may be able to buy or sell except him who has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
