Book of Common Prayer
22 And there was no temple in it, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to give it light, because the brightness of God did light it, and the Lamb was the light of it. 24 And the people who are saved will walk in the light of it, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory to it. 25 And its gates are not shut daily, 26 because there will be no night there. 27 And there shall enter into it no unclean thing, neither whatsoever works abomination or makes lies, but only they who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
14 Then the Pharisees went out and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. 15 When Jesus knew that, he departed from there. And crowds of people followed him. And he healed them all, 16 and charged them not to make him known, 17 to fulfil that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who says: 18 Behold my child, whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my Spirit on him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. 19 He will not quarrel; he will not cry out; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed he will not break, and a flax that begins to burn he will not quench, till he sends forth judgment unto victory. 21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
