Revelation 21:14-24

14 And the wall of the city had 1twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the 2twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring 3rod to measure the city, and its 4gates 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 rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal.
17 And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to 5human measurements, which are also 6angelic measurements.
18 The material of the wall was 7jasper; and the city was 8pure gold, like clear 9glass.
19 10The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was 11jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, 12emerald;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, 13sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21 And the twelve 14gates were twelve 15pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was 16pure gold, like transparent 17glass.
22 I saw 18no temple in it, for the 19Lord God the Almighty and the 20Lamb are its temple.
23 And the city 21has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for 22the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the 23Lamb.
24 24The nations will walk by its light, and the 25kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
