Speculation about the meaning of the number 666, the number of the beast, has been intriguing but futile. Revelation 13:18, CSB: "This calls for wisdom: Let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, because it is the number of a person.

Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man and his number is six hundred and sixty-six." Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Revelation 13:18, ESV: "This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666." Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. Revelation 13:18 Parallel Verses Revelation 13:18, NIV: "This calls for wisdom.
