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.
19And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;
20Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.
21For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
