2 Peter 1:16-18

16 For we have not made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly imagined fables, but having been eyewitnesses [a] of *his* majesty.
17 For he received [b] from God [the] Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom *I* have found my delight;
18 and this voice *we* heard uttered [c] from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
