1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; also, the ocean was no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Take note, the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people. Yes, God Himself will be with them.
4 And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death nor sorrow nor crying nor pain —they will exist no more because the first things have gone.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Take note, I make everything new!” And He says to me, “Write, because these words are true and faithful!”
6 Then He said to me, “I have become the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I will give of the spring of the water of Life freely.
7 He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be God to him and he will be a son to me.
8 But as for the cowardly and unbelieving and sinners and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters, and all who are false, their portion is in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the woman, the Lamb’s bride.”
10 So he transported me in spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 having the splendor of God. Her radiance was similar to a most precious stone, like a crystalline jasper stone;
12 she had a tremendous, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, namely the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel;
13 looking from the east, three gates, and from the north, three gates, and from the south, three gates, and from the west, three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names, of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Now he who spoke with me had a measure, a golden reed, so that he might measure the city and her gates.
16 The city is laid out as a square; that is, her length is equal to her width. So he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand and twelve stadia. Her length and width and height are equal.
17 And he measured her wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man (which is of an angel).
18 The material of her wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation had jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls; each individual gate was composed of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 I saw no sanctuary in her, because the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are her sanctuary.
23 And the city has no need of the sun or the moon, that they should shine on her, because the very glory of God illumines her, and the Lamb is her light.
24 And the nations will walk in her light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into her.
25 Her gates will absolutely not be closed by day (and no night will exist there).
26 And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into her.
27 But anything ‘common’ or anyone perpetrating an abomination or a lie will absolutely not enter her; only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

John 14:1-31
1 “Do not let your (pl) heart be distressed; you believe into God and you believe into me.
2 In my Father’s house are many dwellings (otherwise I would have told you). I am going away to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.
4 Now you know where I am going, and you know the way.
5 Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus says to him: “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through me.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father as well; from now on you both know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it’s enough for us.”
9 Jesus says to him: “Such a long time I’ve been with you, and you haven’t known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own; rather it is the Father who dwells in me who does the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or else, believe me because of the works themselves.
12 “Most assuredly I say to you, the one believing into me, he too will do the works that I do; in fact he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 Further, whatever you (pl) may ask in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in my name, I will do it!
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 Also, I will ask the Father and He will give you another Helper, so that He may stay with you throughout the age
17 —the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you do know Him, because He is staying with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you [shortly].
19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live you also will live.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves me. Now the one who loves me will be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and reveal myself to him.
22 Judas (not the Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, just how is it that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him: “If anyone loves me he will keep my word. So my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 The one who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words; further, the word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
25 “I have spoken these things to you while being with you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and remind you of everything I said to you.
27 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; it’s not like the world gives that I give to you. Do not let your heart be distressed or intimidated.
28 “You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad that I said, ‘I am going to the Father’, because my Father is greater than I.
29 I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 “I will no longer talk much with you, because the ruler of the world is approaching; actually, he has nothing in me.
31 Rather, I habitually do just as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. “Get up, let’s leave here.
