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. Received ... honour - in the voice that spake to Him.
Glory - in the light which shone round Him: answering to the Shechinah glory in the Tabernacle. Came, х enechtheisees (G5342)] - 'was borne:' only in 1 Peter 1:13: the argument against this second letter, from its dissimilarity of style, as compared with 1 Peter, is not well rounded.
Such a voice - as he describes. From the excellent glory, х hupo (G5259) tees (G3588) megaloprepous (G3169) doxees (G1391)] - 'BY (i:e., uttered by) the magnificent glory.' (i:e., by God: as His manifested presence is called by the Hebrews 'the Glory:' cf. "His Excellency," Deuteronomy 33:26; Psalms 21:5).
In whom, х eis (G1519) hon (G3739)] - 'in regard to whom' (accusative); but Matthew 17:5, "in whom" х en (G1722) ho (G3588)] centers my good pleasure. Peter omits, as not required by his purpose, "hear Him," showing his independence in his inspired testimony.
I am - aorist х eudokeesa (G2106)]: 'My good pleasure rested (from eternity).'
