⁹ And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God: her ^[a]light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal: ¹² having a wall great and high; having twelve ^[b]gates, and at the ^[c]gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: ¹³ on the east were three ^[d]gates; and on the north three ^[e]gates; and on the south three ^[f]gates; and on the west ^[g]three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the ^[h]gates thereof, and the wall thereof. ¹⁶ And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal. ¹⁷ And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. ¹⁸ And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass. ¹⁹ The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, ^[i]sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; ²⁰ the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, ^[j]jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve ^[k]gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several ^[l]gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, ^[m]as it were transparent glass. ²² And I saw no ^[n]temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the ^[o]temple thereof. ²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, ^[p]and the lamp thereof is the Lamb. ²⁴ And the nations shall walk ^[q]amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. ²⁵ And the ^[r]gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there): ²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it: ²⁷ and there shall in no wise enter into it anything ^[s]unclean, or he that ^[t]maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
