Revelation of John 21:2-4

2 And I saw ^athe holy city, ^bnew Jerusalem, ^ccoming down out of heaven from God, ^dprepared ^eas a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, ^fthe dwelling place ^{▼▼Or tabernacle} of God is with man. He will ^hdwell with them, and they will be his people, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts peoples} and God himself will be with them as their God. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit as their God} 4 ^kHe will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ^ldeath shall be no more, ^mneither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Revelation of John 21:10-27

10 And ⁿhe carried me away in the Spirit to ^oa great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 ^phaving the glory of God, ^qits radiance ^rlike a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall, ^swith 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 ^tfoundations, and ^uon them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And the one who spoke with me ^vhad 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 width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. ^{▼▼About 1,380 miles; a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters} Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits ^{▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} by ^yhuman measurement, which is also ^zan angel’s measurement. 18 The wall was built of ^aajasper, while the city was pure gold, like ^abclear glass. 19 ^acThe foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of 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 ^adthe street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 And ^aeI saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city ^afhas no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for ^agthe glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 By its light ^ahwill the nations walk, and the kings of the earth ^aiwill bring their glory into it, 25 and ^ajits gates will never be shut by day—and ^akthere will be no night there. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But ^alnothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s ^ambook of life.
