2 Peter 1:16-21
New American Standard Bible
Eyewitnesses
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised (A)tales when we made known to you the (B)power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were (C)eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such a (D)[a]declaration as this was made to Him by the (E)Majestic Glory: “This is [b]My beloved Son with whom I am well pleased”— 18 and we ourselves heard this [c]declaration made from heaven when we were with Him on the (F)holy mountain.
19 And so we have (G)the prophetic word made more (H)sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to (I)a lamp shining in a dark place, until the (J)day dawns and the (K)morning star arises (L)in your hearts. 20 But (M)know this first of all, that (N)no prophecy of Scripture [d]becomes a matter of [e]someone’s own interpretation, 21 for (O)no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men (P)moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
