‏ Revelation of John 17:13

 Have one mind ( μιαν γνωμην εχουσιν ). "One purpose" ( γνωμη from  γινωσκω ) as in Ac 20:3; 1Co 1:10. The new powers are allies of the beast.

 They give their power and authority unto the beast ( την δυναμιν κα την εξουσιαν αυτων τω θηριω διδοασιν ). Present active indicative of  διδωμ. Just as the dragon gave both power and authority to the beast (13:2), so they are wholly at the service of the beast.
