2 Peter 1:17

Verse 17

17. He received… honour In what the voice of God, the Father Almighty, declared.

And glory From the brightness of the overshadowing cloud of glory, transcending that of the transfigured Jesus, whose “face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.” “We beheld his glory,” said John, referring to the same scene, “the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father.” John 1:14.

There came… glory Literally, a voice was borne to him by the excellent glory, such as this, this is my beloved Son. This excellent glory must be taken as identical with God.
