2 Peter 1:19 in Context — 2 Peter 1
17 Porque él había recibido de Dios Padre honra y gloria, cuando una tal voz fué á él enviada de la magnífica gloria: Este es el amado Hijo mío, en el cual yo me he agradado.
18 Y nosotros oímos esta voz enviada del cielo, cuando estábamos juntamente con él en el monte santo.
19 Tenemos también la palabra profética más permanente, á la cual hacéis bien de estar atentos como á una antorcha que alumbra en lugar oscuro hasta que el día esclarezca, y el lucero de la mañana salga en vuestros corazones:
20 Entendiendo primero esto, que ninguna profecía de la Escritura es de particular interpretación;
21 Porque la profecía no fué en los tiempos pasados traída por voluntad humana, sino los santos hombres de Dios hablaron siendo inspirados del Espíritu Santo.
