The present paragraph is the second of four fragments of the vision John received concerning the New Jerusalem. Revelation 21:9–14 had set before us the protection God grants to those within this city. The present paragraph, Revelation 21:15–21, shows us something of the glory and perfection of this most holy city.
15 Celui qui me parlait avait pour mesure un roseau d'or, afin de mesurer la ville, ses portes, et sa muraille.
