Read in context

Revelation 21:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

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

24 By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.

25 Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.

26 And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.
