Revelation 21:10–22:5
10 And ahe carried me away 1bin the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me cthe holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 having athe glory of God. Her 1brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a bstone of ccrystal-clear jasper.
12 1It had a great and high wall, 1awith twelve bgates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west.
14 And the wall of the city had atwelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the btwelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 The one who spoke with me had a 1gold measuring arod to measure the city, and its bgates and its wall.
16 The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the 1rod, 2fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal.
17 And he measured its wall, 1seventy-two yards, according to ahuman 2measurements, which are also bangelic measurements.
18 The material of the wall was ajasper; and the city was bpure gold, like 1clear cglass.
19 aThe foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was bjasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, cemerald;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, asardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21 And the twelve agates were twelve bpearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was cpure gold, like transparent dglass.
22 I saw ano 1temple in it, for the bLord God the Almighty and the cLamb are its 1temple.
23 And the city ahas no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for bthe glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the cLamb.
24 aThe nations will walk by its light, and the bkings of the earth 1will bring their glory into it.
25 In the daytime (for athere will be no night there) bits gates cwill never be closed;
26 and athey will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;
27 and anothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those 1whose names are bwritten in the Lamb’s book of life.
The River and the Tree of Life
1 Then ahe showed me a briver of the cwater of life, 1clear das crystal, coming from the throne of God and of 2the Lamb,
2 in the middle of aits street. bOn either side of the river was cthe tree of life, bearing twelve 1kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 aThere will no longer be any curse; and bthe throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will cserve Him;
4 they will asee His face, and His bname will be on their cforeheads.
5 And athere will no longer be any night; and they 1will not have need bof the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will creign forever and ever.
