Revelation 21:15

---

← Revelation 21:14	Revelation 21:15 (KJV)	Revelation 21:16 →
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.	And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.	And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
