*
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain ,
and showed me the great city ,
the holy Jerusalem ,
descending out of heaven from God ,
*
having the glory of God .
Her light was like a most precious stone ,
like a jasper stone ,
clear as crystal .
*
Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates ,
and twelve angels at the gates ,
and names written on them ,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel :
*
three gates on the east ,
three gates on the north ,
three gates on the south ,
and three gates on the west .
*
Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations ,
and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb .
*
And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city ,
its gates ,
and its wall .
*
The city is laid out as a square ;
its length is as great as its breadth .
And he measured the city with the reed :
twelve thousand furlongs .
Its length ,
breadth ,
and height are equal .
*
Then he measured its wall :
one hundred and forty-four cubits ,
according to the measure of a man ,
that is ,
of an angel .
*
The construction of its wall was of jasper ;
and the city was pure gold ,
like clear glass .
*
The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones :
the first foundation was jasper ,
the second sapphire ,
the third chalcedony ,
the fourth emerald ,
*
the fifth sardonyx ,
the sixth sardius ,
the seventh chrysolite ,
the eighth beryl ,
the ninth topaz ,
the tenth chrysoprase ,
the eleventh jacinth ,
and the twelfth amethyst .
*
The twelve gates were twelve pearls :
each individual gate was of one pearl .
And the street of the city was pure gold ,
like transparent glass .
*
But I saw no temple in it ,
for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple .
*
The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it ,
for the glory of God illuminated it .
The Lamb is its light .
*
And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light ,
and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it .
*
Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (
there shall be no night there ).
*
And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it .
*
But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles ,
or causes an abomination or a lie ,
but only those who are written in the Lamb '
s Book of Life .
