10 So in the Spirit he carried me to the top of a vast, lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,

11 and bringing with it the glory of God. It shone with a radiance like that of a very precious stone–such as a jasper, bright and transparent.

12 It has a wall, massive and high, with twelve large gates, and in charge of the gates were twelve angels. And overhead, above the gates, names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the descendants of Israel.

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

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and engraved upon them were twelve names–the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
