2 Peter 1:16 in Context — 2 Peter 1
14 car je sais que je la quitterai subitement, ainsi que notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ me l’a fait connaître.
15 Mais j’aurai soin qu’après mon départ vous puissiez toujours vous souvenir de ces choses.
16 Ce n’est pas, en effet, en suivant des fables habilement conçues, que nous vous avons fait connaître la puissance et l’avènement de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, mais c’est comme ayant vu sa majesté de nos propres yeux.
17 Car il a reçu de Dieu le Père honneur et gloire, quand la gloire magnifique lui fit entendre une voix qui disait: Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j’ai mis toute mon affection.
18 Et nous avons entendu cette voix venant du ciel, lorsque nous étions avec lui sur la sainte montagne.
