The '''number of the beast''' or '''666''' is associated with the Beast of Revelation in chapter 13, verse 18 of the [[Book of Revelation]]. In most manuscripts of the New Testament and in English translations of the [[Bible]], the number of the beast is six hundred sixty-six. Papyrus 115 (which is the oldest preserved manuscript of the Revelation as of 2017), as well as other ancient sources like ''Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus'', give the number of the beast as 616. | The '''number of the beast''' or '''666''' is associated with the Beast of Revelation in chapter [[13 (number)|13]], verse 18 of the [[Book of Revelation]].
