{To give breath to it} (dounai pneuma aut(8869)). This second
beast, probably a system like the first (not a mere person), was
endowed with the power to work magical tricks, as was true of
Simon Magus and Apollonius of Tyana and many workers of
legerdemain since. Pneuma here has its original meaning of
breath or wind like pneuma z(9388)s (breath of life) in  11:11 .
{Even to the image} (	(8869) eikoni). No "even" in the Greek, just
apposition with aut(8869) (her). {That should both speak and cause}
(hina kai lal(8873)(8869) kai poi(8873)(8869)). Final clause with hina and
the first aorist active subjunctive of lale(935c) and poie(935c).
Ventriloquism like that in  Ac 16:16 . {That should be killed}
(hina apoktanth(9373)in). Sub-final clause with hina and the
first aorist passive subjunctive of apoktein(935c), after poi(8873)(8869),
as in verse  12  (future indicative). {As many as should not
worship} (hosoi ean m(8820)proskun(8873)(9373)in). Indefinite relative
clause with modal ean (= an) and the first aorist active
subjunctive of proskune(935c) with the accusative 	(886e) eikona (some
MSS. the dative). Note the triple use of "the image of the beast"
in this sentence. "That refusal to worship the image of the
emperor carried with it capital punishment in Trajan's time is
clear from Pliny's letter to Trajan (X. 96)" (Charles).
