14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the Lamb's twelve apostles.
15 The angel who talked with me had a gold measuring rod, with which to measure the city and its gates and wall.
16 The city was a square, its length the same as its breadth. He measured the city with his rod, and it was 12,000 furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height were the same.
17 He measured the wall and it was about 144 cubits (216 feet), as men measure, for that was the way the angel measured.
18 The material of the wall was jasper, but the city was pure gold, as transparent as glass.
19 The foundation stones of the wall of the city were ornamented with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation stone 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, the twelfth amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls; each gate made of a single pearl. The principal street of the city was pure gold, as transparent as glass.
