2 Peter 1:19 in Context — 2 Peter 1
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.
19 Et nous tenons pour d’autant plus certaine la parole prophétique, à laquelle vous faites bien de prêter attention, comme à une lampe qui brille dans un lieu obscur, jusqu’à ce que le jour vienne à paraître et que l’étoile du matin se lève dans vos cœurs;
20 sachant tout d’abord vous-mêmes qu’aucune prophétie de l’Écriture ne peut être un objet d’interprétation particulière,
21 car ce n’est pas par une volonté d’homme qu’une prophétie a jamais été apportée, mais c’est poussés par le Saint-Esprit que des hommes ont parlé de la part de Dieu.
