Revelation 21:14–27

¹⁴The wall of the city had twelve foundations,^t and on them were the names of the twelve apostles^u of the Lamb.

¹⁵The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod^v of gold to measure the city, its gates^w and its walls. ¹⁶The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia^c in length, and as wide and high as it is long. ¹⁷The angel measured the wall using human^x measurement, and it was 144 cubits^d thick.^{e 18}The wall was made of jasper,^y and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.^{z 19}The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.^a The first foundation was jasper,^b the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, ²⁰the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby,^c the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.^{f 21}The twelve gates^d were twelve pearls,^e each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.^f

²²I did not see a temple^g in the city, because the Lord God Almighty^h and the Lambⁱ are its temple. ²³The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God^j gives it light,^k and the Lamb^l is its lamp. ²⁴The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.^{m 25}On no day will its gatesⁿ ever be shut,^o for there will be no night there.^{p 26}The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.^{q 27}Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful,^r but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.^s
