启示录十三1我又看见一个兽从海中上来，有十角七头，在十角上戴著十个冠冕，七头上有亵渎的名号。
Rev.13:1AndIsawabeastcomingupoutofthesea,havingtenhornsandsevenheads,andonhishornstendiadems,andonhisheadsnamesofblasphemy.
启示录十三2我所看见的兽，形状像豹，脚像熊的脚，口像狮子的口；那龙将自己的能力、座位和大权柄，都给了它。
Rev.13:2AndthebeastwhichIsawwaslikealeopard,andhisfeetlikethoseofabear,andhismouthlikethemouthofalion.Andthedragongavehimhispowerandhisthroneandgreatauthority.
启示录十三3兽的七头中，有一头似乎被杀至死，但那死伤却医好了。全地的人都希奇，就跟从那兽，
Rev.13:3Andoneofhisheadswasasitwereslaintodeath,andhisdeathstrokewashealed.Andthewholeearthmarveledafterthebeast.
启示录十三4又拜那龙，因为它将权柄给了兽；也拜兽说，谁能比这兽？谁能与它争战？
Rev.13:4Andtheyworshippedthedragonbecausehegavehisauthoritytothebeast;andtheyworshippedthebeast,saying,Whoislikethebeast?Andwhocanmakewarwithhim?
