[1:16] For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
[1:17] For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,”
[1:18] we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.
[1:19] And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
[1:20] knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.
[1:21] For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
