Revelation 21:12-19

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹² The city had a wall that was big and high. It had twelve doors. At the doors were twelve angels. Names were written on the doors. They are the names of the twelve tribes of the people of Israel.

¹³ There were three doors on the east side. There were three doors on the north side. There were three doors on the south side and three doors on the west side.

¹⁴ The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones. On them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵ The angel who talked to me had a gold stick to measure the city, its doors, and its walls.

¹⁶ The city is square. It is as long as it is wide. The angel measured the city with his stick and it was about fifteen hundred miles. It is as long as it is wide and as high as it is long.

¹⁷ Then he measured its wall. It was two hundred and sixteen feet by the way a man measures. That is the way the angel measured.

¹⁸ The wall of the city was made of a very fine stone called jasper. The city was all made of pure gold. It was clear like glass.

¹⁹ The bottom of the city wall was covered with all kinds of fine stones. The first stone was red jasper. The second stone was blue sapphire. The third stone was of many colours called agate. The fourth stone was green emerald.
