12For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.
13And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;
14For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.
16For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.
17For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
18And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
