The New Jerusalem(A)

Then one of (B)the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came [a]to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you (C)the [b]bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away (D)in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me (E)the [c]great city, the [d]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 (F)having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with (G)twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 (H)three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and (I)on them were the [e]names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
