2 Peter 1:16

Read in context

2 Peter 1:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

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, in whom I am well pleased.”

18 And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
