In context

13 And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people.

14 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived.

15 The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed.

16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.
