In Context

20The beast and the false prophet were captured { He captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence.

The beast and the false prophet were thrown { He threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
