2 Peter 1:16 in Context — 2 Peter 1
14 Sabendo que breve está a saída do meu meu tabernáculo, conforme também nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo tem revelado a mim.
15 Mas também procurarei que depois de minha partida vós sejais capazes de ter lembrança destas coisas.
16 Porque nós não vos anunciamos o poder e vinda de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo seguindo mitos criados pela inteligência humana, mas sim como testemunhas oculares de sua grandiosidade.
17 Porque de Deus Pai ele recebeu honra e glória, tendo sido lhe enviada tal voz de magnífica glória: Este é meu amado Filho, em quem me agrado.
18 E nós ouvimos esta voz enviada do Céu, estando nós com ele no santo monte.
