Commentary
received . . . honour--in the voice that spake to Him. glory--in the light which shone around Him. came--Greek, "was borne": the same phrase occurs only in Pe1 1:13; one of several instances showing that the argument against the authenticity of this Second Epistle, from its dissimilarity of style as compared with First Peter, is not well founded. such a voice--as he proceeds to describe. from the excellent glory--rather as Greek, "by (that is, uttered by) the magnificent glory (that is, by God: as His glorious manifested presence is often called by the Hebrews "the Glory," compare "His Excellency," Deu 33:26; Psa 21:5)." in whom--Greek, "in regard to whom" (accusative case); but Mat 17:5, "in whom" (dative case) centers and rests My good pleasure. Peter also omits, as not required by his purpose, "hear Him," showing his independence in his inspired testimony. I am--Greek aorist, past time, "My good pleasure rested from eternity."
