⁹ And one of the seven angels that had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife. ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and a high mountain, and he showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the brightness of God. And her brilliance was like a stone most precious, even a jasper clear as crystal. ¹² And she had walls great and high, and had 12 gates, and at the gates 12 angels, and names written which are the names of the 12 tribes of Israel. ¹³ On the east side were three gates, and on the north side three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had 12 foundations, and in them the names of the Lamb’s 12 apostles.
