14. For our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that I must soon leave this earthly life,
15. so I will work hard to make sure you always remember these things after I am gone.
16. For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes
17. when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory of God said to him, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”
