666

666

666 (Greek: ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ hexakósioi hexēkonta héx) is a number mentioned in several places in the Bible. The most famous passage is found in the Apocalypse of John. Six hundred and sixty-six here stands for the Number of the Beast (Greek: Ἀριθμὸς τοῦ θηρίου Arithmos tou Thēriou), which is also the number of a human being:

„Ὧδε ἡ σοφία ἐστίν- ὁ ἔχων νοῦν ψηφισάτω τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ θηρίου- ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστί- καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ.“

„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.“

– Revelation 13:18
