having the glory of God. Her shining was like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;

And the building of its wall was jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:

And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.

And I, John, was he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.

Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city.
