Revelation 21:14-27

14The wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall.

16Now the city is laid out as a square, its length and width the same. He measured the city with the measuring rod at fourteen hundred miles (its length and width and height are equal).

17He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.

18The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.

19The foundations of the city’s wall are decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

20the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

21And the twelve gates are twelve pearls – each one of the gates is made from just one pearl! The main street of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.

22Now I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God – the All-Powerful – and the Lamb are its temple.

23The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their grandeur into it.

25Its gates will never be closed during the day (and there will be no night there).

26They will bring the grandeur and the wealth of the nations into it,

27but nothing ritually unclean will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or practices falsehood, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
