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 God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. 23And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb. 24And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it. 25And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there. 26And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it. 27And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
