2 Peter 1

The Apostolic Witness

16For we did not follow cleverly invented myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when a voice like this was brought to him by the Majestic Glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18We ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

19We also have the prophetic word made more certain, and you do well to pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20Above all, know this: no prophecy of Scripture comes from one's own interpretation, 21for no prophecy was ever brought by human will; rather, people spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
