Book of Common Prayer

²² I did not see any temple in the city. The Lord God, who has all power, and the Lamb, are its temple.

²³ The city does not need the sun or the moon to give light in it. The glory of God gives light, and the Lamb is its lamp.

²⁴ Those who are saved will walk in its light. The kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.

²⁵ The doors of the city will never be shut in the day time, and there will be no night.

²⁶ The glory and the honour of all nations will be brought into the city.

²⁷ Nothing that is not holy will ever go in. People who do wrong things and tell lies will never go in. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will go in.

¹⁴ Then the Pharisees went out and planned together how to kill Jesus.

¹⁵ Jesus knew about their plan, so he went away from there. Many people followed him and he healed them all.

¹⁶ He told them not to tell where he was.

¹⁷ So what Isaiah the prophet of God said, came true.

¹⁸ He said, `This is my servant. I have chosen him. I love him. I am very pleased with him. I will put my Spirit on him. He will judge the people who are not Jews.

¹⁹ He will not fight or shout. No one will hear his voice in the streets.

²⁰ He will not break a stick that is already bent. He will not put out a light that burns only a little. What is right will win, because he will make it win.

²¹ Those who are not Jews will believe in him.'
