¹⁰ And he carried me away^(A) in the Spirit^(B) to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.^{(C) 11} It shone with the glory of God,^(D) and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper,^(E) clear as crystal.^(F)

¹⁸ The wall was made of jasper,^(A) and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.^{(B) 19} The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.^(C) The first foundation was jasper,^(D) the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, ²⁰ the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby,^(E) the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.^{[a] 21} The twelve gates^(F) were twelve pearls,^(G) each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.^(H)

²² I did not see a temple^(I) in the city, because the Lord God Almighty^(J) and the Lamb^(K) are its temple.

Eden Restored

22 Then the angel showed me the river^(A) of the water of life,^(B) as clear as crystal,^(C) flowing^(D) from the throne of God and of the Lamb ² down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life,^(E) bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.^{(F) 3} No longer will there be any curse.^(G) The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.^{(H) 4} They will see his face,^(I) and his name will be on their foreheads.^{(J) 5} There will be no more night.^(K) They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.^(L) And they will reign for ever and ever.^(M)
