Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
For We Were Eyewitnesses of Christ’s Majesty And Glory
16 For we made-known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ— not having followed-after cleverly-devised myths, but having been made[a] eyewitnesses of the majesty of that One. 17 For He having received from God the Father the honor and glory of such a voice[b] having been carried[c] to Him by the Majestic Glory— “This is My Son, My Beloved, in Whom I was[d] well-pleased”— 18 we ourselves also heard this voice having been carried out of heaven, being with Him on the holy mountain.
And We Have God’s Prophetic Word More Firm
19 And we have the prophetic[e] word as more-firm[f], to which you are doing well to be paying-attention as to a lamp shining in a dismal[g] place, until which time the day dawns and the morning-star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first— that no prophecy of Scripture comes[h] from one’s own[i] interpretation[j]. 21 For no prophecy was ever carried[k] by the will of a human, but people being carried by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
