Revelation 21:10-23

English Standard Version

¹⁰ And ^(A)he carried me away in the Spirit to ^(B)a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, ^11 (C)having the glory of God, ^(D)its radiance ^(E)like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. ¹² It had a great, high wall, ^(F)with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— ¹³ on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve ^(G)foundations, and ^(H)on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵ And the one who spoke with me ^(I)had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. ¹⁶ The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia.^[a] Its length and width and height are equal. ¹⁷ He also measured its wall, 144 cubits^[b] by ^(J)human measurement, which is also ^(K)an angel's measurement. ¹⁸ The wall was built of ^(L)jasper, while the city was pure gold, like ^(M)clear glass. ^19 (N)The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, ²⁰ the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and ^(O)the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

²² And ^(P)I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. ²³ And the city ^(Q)has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for ^(R)the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
