12
It had a great, high wall with twelve gates and with twelve angels in charge of the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the people of Israel.

There were three gates on each side: three on the east, three on the south, three on the north, and three on the west.

The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself was made of pure gold, as clear as glass.

The city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God shines on it, and the Lamb is its lamp.

The gates of the city will stand open all day; they will never be closed, because there will be no night there.
26
The greatness and the wealth of the nations will be brought into the city.
27
But nothing that is impure will enter the city, nor anyone who does shameful things or tells lies. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of the living will enter the city.
