2 Peter 1:16-21 - The Reliable Prophetic Word Of Testimony

¹⁶ For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹⁸ And this voice we heard coming out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts. ²⁰ Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man's own suggestions. ²¹ For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.
