Revelation 21:10-22

10And he carried me away in [the] Spirit, [and set me] on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from 1God,

11having the glory of 2God. Her shining [was] like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;

12having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of [the] sons of Israel.

13On [the] east three gates; and on [the] north three gates; and on [the] south three gates; and on [the] west three gates.

14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15And he that spoke with me had a golden reed [as] a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.

16And the city lies four-square, and its length [is] as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed — twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.

17And he measured its wall, a hundred [and] forty-four cubits, [a] man's measure, that is, [the] angel's.

18And the building of its wall [was] jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:

19the foundations of the wall of the city [were] adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

21And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.

22And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord 3God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
