The New Jerusalem

¹⁰ And ^(A)he carried me away ^[a](B)in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me ^(C)the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

²² I saw ^(A)no ^[a]temple in it, for the ^(B)Lord God the Almighty and the ^(C)Lamb are its ^[b]temple. ²³ And the city ^(D)has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for ^(E)the glory of God has illuminated it, and its lamp is the ^(F)Lamb. ^24 (G)The nations will walk by its light, and the ^(H)kings of the earth ^[c]will bring their glory into it. ²⁵ In the daytime (for ^(I)there will be no night there) ^(J)its gates ^(K)will never be closed; ²⁶ and ^(L)they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; ²⁷ and ^(M)nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those ^[d]whose names are ^(N)written in the Lamb’s book of life.

The River and the Tree of Life

22 And ^(O)he showed me a ^(P)river of the ^(Q)water of life, ^[e]clear ^(R)as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of ^[f]the Lamb, ² in the middle of ^(S)its street. ^(T)On either side of the river was ^(U)the tree of life, bearing twelve ^[g]kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ^3 (V)There will no longer be any curse; and ^(W)the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will ^(X)serve Him; ⁴ they will ^(Y)see His face, and His ^(Z)name will be on their ^(AA)foreheads. ⁵ And ^(AB)there will no longer be any night; and they ^[h]will not have need ^(AC)of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will ^(AD)reign forever and ever.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(A)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(B)follow My word; and ^(C)My Father will love him, and We ^(D)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him. ²⁴ The one who does not love Me ^(E)does not follow My words; and ^(F)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you. ²⁶ But the ^(G)Helper, the Holy Spirit ^(H)whom the Father will send in My name, ^(I)He will teach you all things, and ^(J)remind you of all that I said to you. ^27 (K)Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. ^(L)[a]Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor ^[b]fearful. ^28 (M)You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and ^(N)I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced ^[c]because ^(O)I am going to the Father, for ^(P)the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now ^(Q)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.
