MLV(i)
16 For we did not follow wisely devised fables, when we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but in that, we became eyewitnesses of that majesty.
17 For having received honor and glory from God the Father, when such a voice was carried to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am delighted.
18 And we heard this voice, having been carried from heaven, being together with him in the holy mountain.
19 And we have the steadfast prophetic word, (as to a lamp appearing in a dreary place, until the day should dawn and the morning-star might rise), to which you are doing well, and taking-heed in your hearts.
20 Knowing this first, that every prophecy of Scripture does not come from one’s own interpretation.
21 For no prophecy was ever brought about by the will of man, but the holy men of God spoke the word being carried by the Holy Spirit.
