Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
