2 Peter 1:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ God the Father gave him honor and glory. The voice of the Majestic Glory came to him. It said, “This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him.” (Matthew 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35) ¹⁸ We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven. We were with him on the sacred mountain.

¹⁹ We also have the message of the prophets. This message can be trusted completely. You must pay attention to it. The message is like a light shining in a dark place. It will shine until the day Jesus comes. Then the Morning Star will rise in your hearts.
