Wahyu 13:13-14

13:13 He ¹  performed momentous signs, even making fire come down from heaven in front of people ²  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 ³  those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived.

[13:13]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:13]  ² tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both men and women.

[13:14]  ³ tn Grk “earth, telling.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek.

[13:14]  sn He told followed by an infinitive (“to make an image…”) is sufficiently ambiguous in Greek that it could be taken as “he ordered” (so NIV) or “he persuaded” (so REB).
