2 Peter 1:16-21 For we have not gone after fables artfully framed, in making known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; but it was after we had been spectators of his majesty.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ For we have not gone after fables artfully framed, in making known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; but it was after we had been spectators of his majesty. ¹⁷ For, when he received from God the Father honor and glory, and, after the splendid glory of his majesty, a voice came to him thus: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; ¹⁸ we also heard this identical voice from heaven, which came to him while we were with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹ And we have moreover a sure word of prophecy; and ye will do well, if ye look to it as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day shall dawn, and the sun shall arise in your hearts; ²⁰ ye having the previous knowledge, that no prophecy is an exposition of its own text. ²¹ For at no time was it by the pleasure of man, that the prophecy came; but holy men of God spoke, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
