Polyglot Bible: Revelation: Revelation 13

This is a parallel-text presentation of Revelation 13 from the Christian New Testament, displaying the same passage simultaneously in three versions: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV), and the Latin Vulgate. The chapter is apocalyptic prophecy within the broader visionary tradition of the Book of Revelation, describing two beasts: the first rises from the sea with ten horns and seven heads, receives its power from a dragon, and commands universal worship; the second rises from the earth, performs miracles, and compels humanity to bear a mark on their right hand or forehead. The chapter's most distinctive and enduring claim is its concluding riddle — that the beast's number is 666, "the number of a man" — an invitation to decode a hidden identity through gematria. The parallel-text format, with Strong's concordance numbers embedded in the KJV column, suggests this is a scholarly or study-Bible resource aimed at readers who want to compare manuscript traditions and trace Greek vocabulary through English and Latin translations. Someone deciding whether to read further would find this most useful if they are studying New Testament Greek, comparative Bible translation, or the symbolic theology of the Antichrist tradition in early Christianity.
