Revelation 21:12

Compare all

10 And he carried me away ^ain the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me ^bthe great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11 ^ahaving the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

12 Also she had a great and high wall with ^atwelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13 ^athree gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and ^aon them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he who talked with me ^ahad a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.

16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand¹ furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.

19 ^aThe foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

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

21 The twelve gates were twelve ^apearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. ^bAnd the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

The Glory of the New Jerusalem

22 ^aBut I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23 ^aThe city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine¹ in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

24 ^aAnd the nations¹ of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor² into it.
