21:9-27:
 One of the seven angels came to me. This was one of the angels who had the
seven bowls full of the seven last troubles. The angel said, "Come with me. I
will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
10The angel carried me away by the Spirit to a very large and high mountain.
The angel showed me the holy city, Jerusalem. The city was coming down out of
heaven from God.
11The city was shining with the glory of God. It was shining bright like a very
expensive jewel, like a jasper. It was clear as crystal.
12The city had a large, high wall with twelve gates. There were twelve angels
at the gates. On each gate was written the name of one of the twelve family
groups of Israel.
13There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on
the south, and three gates on the west.
14The walls of the city were built on twelve foundation stones. On the stones
were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod made of gold. The angel had
this rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16The city was built in a square. Its length was equal to its width. The angel
measured the city with the rod. The city was 12,000 stadia long, 12,000 stadia
wide, and 12,000 stadia high.
17The angel also measured the wall. It was 144 cubits high. (The angel was
using the same measurement that people use.)
18The wall was made of jasper. The city was made of pure gold, as pure as
glass.
19The foundation stones of the city walls had every kind of expensive jewels in
them. The first foundation stone was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third
was chalcedony, the fourth was emerald,
20the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was yellow quartz,
the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the
eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst.
21The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each gate was made from one pearl. The
street of the city was made of pure gold. The gold was clear like glass.
22I did not see a temple in the city. The Lord God All-Powerful and the Lamb
(Jesus) are the city's temple.
23The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it. The glory of God
gives the city light. The Lamb (Jesus) is the city's lamp.
24The peoples of the world will walk by the light given by the Lamb. The rulers
of the earth will bring their glory into the city.
25The city's gates will never close on any day, because there is no night
there.
26The greatness and the honor of the nations will be brought into the city.
27Nothing unclean will ever enter the city. No person that does shameful things
or tells lies will ever enter the city. Only the people whose names are written
in the Lamb's book of life will enter the city. (ERV)
 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden
with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will
show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed
me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it
were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:
12having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve
angels; and names written thereon, which are (the names) of the twelve tribes of
the children of Israel:
13on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south
three gates; and on the west three gates.
14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of
the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the
city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the
breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the
length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal.
17And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits,
(according to) the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold,
like unto pure glass.
19The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of
precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the
third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth,
beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the
twelfth, amethyst.
21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of
one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent
glass.
22And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are
the temple thereof.
23And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it:
for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof (is) the Lamb.
24And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the
earth bring their glory into it.
25And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no
night there):
26and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it:
27and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh
an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb's book of
life.
(ASV)
 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full
of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew
thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed
me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious,
even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve
angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of
the children of Israel:
13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates;
and on the west three gates.
14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the
twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the
gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and
he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the
breadth and the height of it are equal.
17And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits,
according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold,
like unto clear glass.
19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of
precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the
third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth,
beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth;
the twelfth, an amethyst.
21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl:
and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the
temple of it.
23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for
the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and
the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no
night there.
26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in
the Lamb's book of life.
