Apocalypses Chapter 21

[10] And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

[11] having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

[12] It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed;

[13] on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.

[14] And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

[15] And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.

[16] The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth; and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height are equal.

[17] He also measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits by a man's measure, that is, an angel's.

[18] The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, clear as glass.

[19] The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

[20] the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

[21] And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.
