Revelation 21:14-24 Modern English Version (MEV)

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

15. He who talked with me had a golden rod to measure the city and its gates and wall.

16. The city lies as a square, its length as long as its width. He measured the city with the rod: one thousand four hundred miles. Its length and breadth and height are equal.

17. He then measured its wall: two hundred feet by the measurement of a man, that is, of an angel.

18. The wall was built of jasper and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.

19. The foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all kinds of precious jewels. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20. the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.

21. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

22. I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23. The city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it.
