21:15 對我說話的，拿著金葦子當尺，要量那城和城門城牆。
21:16 城是四方的，長寬一樣。天使用葦子量那城，共有四千里，長、寬、高都是一樣；
21:17 又量了城牆，按著人的尺寸，就是天使的尺寸，共有一百四十四肘。
21:18 牆是碧玉造的；城是精金的，如同明淨的玻璃。
21:19 城牆的根基是用各樣寶石修飾的：第一根基是碧玉；第二是藍寶石；第三是綠瑪瑙；第四是綠寶石；
21:20 第五是紅瑪瑙；第六是紅寶石；第七是黃璧璽；第八是水蒼玉；第九是紅璧璽；第十是翡翠；第十一是紫瑪瑙；第十二是紫晶。
21:21 十二個門是十二顆珍珠，每門是一顆珍珠。城內的街道是精金，好像明透的玻璃。
And the one who spoke with me had a
measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. The city lies foursquare, its length the same
as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length
and width and height are equal. He also
measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's
measurement. The wall was built of
jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were
adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire,
the third agate, the fourth emerald, the
fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the
ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth
amethyst. And the twelve gates were
twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the
city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
