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.
