Revelation 21:11

Read in context

Revelation 21:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

11 shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal.

12 The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.

13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
