2 PETER 1:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, 'This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased' — Peter quotes the transfiguration theophany, where the Father's voice confirms the Son's identity. The Father's approval (eudokeō) validates the messianic claim and the path to glory through suffering. The voice from the Majestic Glory connects divine pleasure with filial obedience.
