2 Peter 1:16-19

(Transfiguration by Ivanka Demchuk)

Beloved:
We did not follow cleverly devised myths
   when we made known to you
   the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
   but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty.
For he received honor and glory from God the Father
   when that unique declaration came to him from the majestic glory,
   “This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”
We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven
   while we were with him on the holy mountain.
Moreover, we possess the prophetic message that is altogether reliable.
You will do well to be attentive to it,
   as to a lamp shining in a dark place,
   until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
