13 And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men.
And he doeth great signs, so that he even causeth fire to come down from heaven on the earth, in the sight of men.

And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the flee and the bond, to receive a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead;
17 and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name.
and that no one shall be able to buy or sell, except him that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
