Revelation 21:10-27

New Jerusalem, the Holy City

10 And ^ahe carried me away ¹^bin the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me ^cthe holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having ^athe glory of God. Her ¹brilliance was like precious stone, as a ^bstone of ^ccrystal-clear jasper. 12 ¹It had a great and high wall. ¹It had ^atwelve ^bgates and at those gates, twelve angels; and names ²have been written on those gates, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west. 14 And the wall of the city had ^atwelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the ^btwelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And the one who spoke with me had a ¹gold measuring ^arod to measure the city and its ^bgates and its wall. 16 And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the ¹rod, ²12,000 stadia; its length and width and height are equal. 17 And he measured its wall, ¹144 cubits, according to ^ahuman ²measurements, which are also ^bangelic measurements. 18 And the material of the wall was ^ajasper, and the city was ^bpure gold, like pure ^cglass. 19 ^aThe foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was ^bjasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, ^cemerald; 20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, ^asardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21 And the twelve ^agates were twelve ^bpearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was ^cpure gold, like transparent ^dglass.
22 And I saw ^ano sanctuary in it, for the ^bLord God the Almighty and the ^cLamb are its sanctuary. 23 And the city ^ahas no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for ^bthe glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the ^cLamb. 24 ^aAnd the nations will walk by its light, and the ^bkings of the earth ¹will bring their glory into it. 25 ^aAnd its gates ^bwill never be closed by day, for ^cthere will be no night there; 26 and ^athey will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 And ^anothing defiled, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those ¹whose names are ^bwritten in the Lamb’s book of life.
