10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a large, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven.

11 It had the glory of God, and its light was like a valuable gem, like jasper, as clear as crystal.

12 It had a large, high wall with twelve gates. Twelve angels were at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates.

13 There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the lamb were written on them.
