Revelation 21:10-22

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ He then carried me away in the Spirit^[a](A) to a great and high mountain^(B) and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ¹¹ arrayed with God’s glory.^(C) Her radiance was like a very precious stone, like a jasper stone, bright as crystal. ¹² The city had a massive high wall, with 12 gates. Twelve angels were at the gates; the names of the 12 tribes of Israel’s sons were inscribed on the gates. ¹³ There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.^{(D) 14} The city wall had 12 foundations, and the 12 names of the Lamb’s 12 apostles were on the foundations.

¹⁵ The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod^(E) to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.^{(F) 16} The city is laid out in a square; its length and width are the same. He measured the city with the rod at 12,000 stadia.^[b] Its length, width, and height are equal. ¹⁷ Then he measured its wall, 144 cubits according to human measurement, which the angel used. ¹⁸ The building material of its wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold like clear glass.

¹⁹ The foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone:^(G)

²¹ The 12 gates are 12 pearls; each individual gate was made of a single pearl. The broad street^[c] of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

²² I did not see a sanctuary in it, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its sanctuary.
