Revelation 13:14-15

Context
13:14 and, by the signs he was permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, he deceived those who live on the earth. He told 1  those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived. 13:15 The second beast 2  was empowered 3  to give life 4  to the image of the first beast 5  so that it could speak, and could cause all those who did not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

[13:14]  1 tn Grk “earth, telling.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek.

[13:15]  2 tn Grk “it”; the referent (the second beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:15]  3 tn Grk “it was given [permitted] to it [the second beast].”

[13:15]  4 tn Grk “breath,” but in context the point is that the image of the first beast is made to come to life and speak.

[13:15]  5 tn Grk “of the beast”; the word “first” has been supplied to specify the referent.
