2 Peter 1:17-21
New King James Version
17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: (A)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on (B)the holy mountain.
19 [a]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a (C)light that shines in a dark place, (D)until (E)the day dawns and the morning star rises in your (F)hearts; 20 knowing this first, that (G)no prophecy of Scripture is of any private [b]interpretation, 21 for (H)prophecy never came by the will of man, (I)but [c]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
