2 Peter 1:17-19
Worldwide English (New Testament)
17 God the Father praised him and showed that he is great. A voice came from the bright cloud and said to him, `This is my Son. I love him and he pleases me very much.'
18 We heard this voice which came from heaven. It happened when we were on the holy hill with Jesus.
19 And so we are more sure about what the prophets of God said long ago. You will do well to listen to them. It is like a lamp shining in a dark place. Then the daylight will come and the morning star will shine in your hearts.
