*
And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great ,
high mountain ,
and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God ,
*
having the glory of God ,
its radiance like a most rare jewel ,
like a jasper ,
clear as crystal .
*
It had a great ,
high wall ,
with twelve gates ,
and at the gates twelve angels ,
and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed ;
*
on the east three gates ,
on the north three gates ,
on the south three gates ,
and on the west three gates .
*
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations ,
and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb .
*
And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls .
*
The city lies foursquare ,
its length the same as its breadth ;
and he measured the city with his rod ,
twelve thousand stadia ;
its length and breadth and height are equal .
*
He also measured its wall ,
a hundred and forty-four cubits by a man '
s measure ,
that is ,
an angel '
s .
*
The wall was built of jasper ,
while the city was pure gold ,
clear as glass .
*
The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every jewel ;
the first was jasper ,
the second sapphire ,
the third agate ,
the fourth emerald ,
*
the fifth onyx ,
the sixth carnelian ,
the seventh chrysolite ,
the eighth beryl ,
the ninth topaz ,
the tenth chrysoprase ,
the eleventh jacinth ,
the twelfth amethyst .
*
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls ,
each of the gates made of a single pearl ,
and the street of the city was pure gold ,
transparent as glass .
*
And I saw no temple in the city ,
for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb .
