My understanding about the association of Satan (the beast) with
the number 666 (maybe not explicitly six hundred sixty six, per se)
is that it comes from a verse in the New Testament (book of Revelations).

Can someone provide the exact wording?  Does anyone know what the
version in the original language (Hebrew? Greek?) might have referred to?
All I remember from the passage is "it is the number of a man... the number
is 666".  Can someone clarify?
