Revelation 21:14–27

¹⁴The wall of the city had 12 foundations. The 12 names of the 12 apostles of the lamb were written on them. 

¹⁵The angel who was talking to me had a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. ¹⁶The city was square. It was as wide as it was long. He measured the city with the stick. It was 12,000 stadia^blong. Its length, width, and height were the same. ¹⁷He measured its wall. According to human measurement, which the angel was using, it was 144 cubits.^c18Its wall was made of gray quartz. The city was made of pure gold, as clear as glass. ¹⁹The foundations of the city wall were beautifully decorated with all kinds of gems: The first foundation was gray quartz, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, ²⁰the fifth onyx, the sixth red quartz, the seventh yellow quartz, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth green quartz, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. ²¹The 12 gates were 12 pearls. Each gate was made of one pearl. The street of the city was made of pure gold, as clear as glass. 

²²I did not see any temple in it, because the Lord God Almighty and the lamb are its temple. ²³The city doesn’t need any sun or moon to give it light because the glory of God gave it light. The lamb was its lamp. ²⁴The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. ²⁵Its gates will be open all day. They will never close because there won’t be any night there. ²⁶They will bring the glory and wealth of the nations into the holy city. ²⁷Nothing unclean,^dno one who does anything detestable, and no liars will ever enter it. Only those whose names are written in the lamb’s Book of Life will enter it.
