^9 (A)Then one of the seven angels who had the ^(B)seven bowls, ^[a]full of the ^(C)seven last plagues, came and spoke with me, saying, “^(D)Come here, I will show you the ^(E)bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

The New Jerusalem

¹⁰ And ^(F)he carried me away ^[b](G)in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me ^(H)the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having ^(I)the glory of God. Her ^[c]brilliance was like a very valuable stone, like a ^(J)stone of ^(K)crystal-clear jasper. ^12 [d]It had a great and high wall, ^[e](L)with twelve ^(M)gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on the gates, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. ¹³ There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had ^(N)twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the ^(O)twelve apostles of the Lamb.
