<P> The Number of the Beast ( Greek : Ἀριθμὸς τοῦ θηρίου , Arithmos tou Thēriou ) is a term in the Book of Revelation , of the New Testament , that is associated with the Beast of Revelation in chapter 13 . In most manuscripts of the New Testament and in English translations of the Bible , the number of the beast is 666 . 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 ( χιϛ ) , not 666 ; critical editions of the Greek text , such as the Novum Testamentum Graece , note 616 as a variant . </P>
