12Therefore I intend talways to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in uthe truth that you have. 13I think it right, as long as I am in this vbody,8 wto stir you up by way of reminder, 14xsince I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, yas our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. 15And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
Christ's Glory and the Prophetic Word
16For we did not follow zcleverly devised amyths when we made known to you bthe power and ccoming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but dwe were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, e“This is my beloved Son,9 with whom I am well pleased,” 18we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on fthe holy mountain. 19And gwe have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention has to a lamp shining in a dark place, until ithe day jdawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21For kno prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God las they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
