1 I videh nebo novo i zemlju novu; jer prvo nebo i prva zemlja prođoše, i mora više nema. 2 I ja Jovan videh grad sveti, Jerusalim nov, gde silazi od Boga s neba, pripravljen kao nevesta ukrašena mužu svom. 3 I čuh glas veliki s neba gde govori: Evo skinije Božije među ljudima, i živeće s njima, i oni će biti narod Njegov, i sam Bog biće s njima Bog njihov. 4 I Bog će otrti svaku suzu od očiju njihovih, i smrti neće biti više, ni plača, ni vike, ni bolesti neće biti više; jer prvo prođe. 5 I reče Onaj što seđaše na prestolu: Evo sve novo tvorim. I reče mi: Napiši, jer su ove reči istinite i verne. 6 I reče mi: Svrši se. Ja sam Alfa i Omega, Početak i Svršetak. Ja ću žednome dati iz izvora vode žive za badava. 7 Koji pobedi, dobiće sve, i biću mu Bog, i on će biti moj sin. 8 A strašljivima i nevernima i poganima i krvnicima, i kurvarima, i vračarima, i idolopoklonicima, i svima lažama, njima je deo u jezeru što gori ognjem i sumporom; koje je smrt druga. 9 I dođe k meni jedan od sedam anđela koji imahu sedam čaša napunjenih sedam zala poslednjih, i reče mi govoreći: Hodi da ti pokažem nevestu, Jagnjetovu ženu. 10 I odvede me u duhu na goru veliku i visoku, i pokaza mi grad veliki, sveti Jerusalim, gde silazi s neba od Boga, 11 i imaše slavu Božiju; i svetlost njegova beše kao dragi kamen, kao kamen jaspis svetli, 12 i imaše zid veliki i visok, i imaše dvanaestora vrata, i na vratima dvanaest anđela, i imena napisana, koja su imena dvanaest kolena Izrailjevih. 13 Od istoka vrata troja, i od severa vrata troja, od juga vrata troja, i od zapada vrata troja. 14 I zid gradski imaše dvanaest temelja, i na njima imena dvanaest apostola Jagnjetovih. 15 I onaj što govoraše sa mnom, imaše trsku zlatnu da izmeri grad i vrata njegova i zidove njegove. 16 I grad na četiri ugla stoji, i dužina je njegova tolika kolika i širina. I izmeri grad trskom na dvanaest hiljada potrkališta: dužina i širina i visina jednaka je. 17 I razmeri zid njegov na sto i četrdeset i četiri lakta, po meri čovečijoj, koja je anđelova. 18 I beše građa zidova njegova jaspis, i grad zlato čisto, kao čisto staklo. 19 I temelji zidova gradskih behu ukrašeni svakim dragim kamenjem: prvi temelj beše jaspis, drugi safir, treći halkidon, četvrti smaragd, 20 peti sardoniks, šesti sard, sedmi hrisolit, osmi viril, deveti topaz, deseti hrisopras, jedanaesti jakint, dvanaesti ametist. 21 I dvanaest vrata, dvanaest zrna bisera: svaka vrata behu od jednog zrna bisera: i ulice gradske behu zlato čisto, kao staklo presvetlo. 22 I crkve ne videh u njemu: jer je njemu crkva Gospod Bog Svedržitelj, i Jagnje. 23 I grad ne potrebuje ni sunce ni mesec da svetle u njemu; jer ga slava Božija prosvetli, i žižak je njegov Jagnje. 24 I narodi koji su spaseni hodiće u videlu njegovom, i carevi zemaljski doneće slavu i čast svoju u njega. 25 I vrata njegova neće se zatvarati danju, jer onde noći neće biti. 26 I doneće slavu i čast neznabožaca u njega. 27 I neće u njega ući ništa pogano, i što čini mrzost i laž, nego samo koji su napisani u životnoj knjizi Jagnjeta.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And in the Apocalypse John saw this new [Jerusalem] descending upon the new earth. For after the times of the kingdom, he says, "I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth fled away, and the heavens; and there was no more place for them."

And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, because the former things have passed away." Isaiah also declares the very same: "For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth; and there shall be no remembrance of the former, …
And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new." This city is said to come down out of heaven, because the grace with which God formed it is of heaven.
