15And he who talked with me had a golden reed for a measure, that he might measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.16And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length, and the breadth, and the height of it are equal.
17And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is that of an angel.18And the structure of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like to pure glass.19The foundation-stones of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation-stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each several gate was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.
22And I saw in it no temple; for the Lord God the Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
23And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine on it; for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.24And the nations will walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.25And its gates will not be shut by day; for there will be no night there;26and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.27And there shall not enter into it any thing unclean, or that works abomination or falsehood; but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
XXII.Andhe showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.2In the midst of its street, and on either side of the river, was a tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.3And there will be no more curse. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it; and his servants will serve him,4and will see his face, and his name will be upon their foreheads.5And there will be no night there; and they will have no need of a lamp, nor of the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light; and they will reign forever and ever.
6And he said to me: These sayings are faithful and true; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show to his servants what things must shortly come to pass.7Behold, I come quickly. Happy is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8And I, John, am he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel, who showed me these things.9And he says to me: See thou do it not. I am a fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book; worship God.
10And he says to me: Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to each one according as his work is.13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.14Happy are they who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.15without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.
16I, Jesus, sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
17And the Spirit and the bride say: Come. And let him that hears say: Come. And let him that thirsts, come; let him that will, take the water of life freely.
18I testify to every one that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if any one shall add to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;19and if any one shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written of in this book.
20He who testifies these things, says: Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.
21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints.
