2 Peter 1:16-19

Christian Standard Bible

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word

¹⁶ For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ;^(A) instead, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.^{(B) 17} For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying “This is my beloved Son,^[a] with whom I am well-pleased!” ^{(C) 18} We ourselves heard this voice when it came from heaven while we were with him on the holy mountain.^{(D) 19} We also have the prophetic word strongly confirmed, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place,^(E) until the day dawns^(F) and the morning star^(G) rises in your hearts.
