We Saw Christ’s Glory

¹⁶ [^LFor] When we ·told [made known to] you about the ·powerful coming [or power and coming] of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not ·telling [following; repeating] ·just clever stories that someone invented [or cleverly-concocted myths]. But we ·saw the greatness of Jesus with our own eyes [^Lwere eyewitness of his majesty]. ¹⁷ [^LFor] ·Jesus heard the voice of God, the Greatest Glory [^LWhen that voice came to him from the Majestic Glory], when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice said, “This is my Son, whom I love, and I am very pleased with him [^Ca reference to the Transfiguration; Matt. 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35].” ¹⁸ We heard that voice from heaven while we were with Jesus on the ·holy [sacred] mountain.
