# Connecting Statement:
Peter continues to explain his teachings to the believers and explains why they are trustworthy.
# For we did not follow cleverly invented myths
Here the word "we" refers to Peter and the other apostles, but not to his readers. AT: "For we apostles did not follow cleverly made-up stories" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])
# the power and the coming
These two phrases may refer to the same thing and be translated as a single phrase. AT: "the powerful coming" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys]])
# the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
Possible meanings are 1) the future second coming of the Lord Jesus or 2) the first coming of the Lord Jesus.
# our Lord Jesus Christ
Here the word "our" refers to all believers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive]])
# when a voice was brought to him by the Majestic Glory
This can be stated in active form. AT: "when he heard a voice come from the Majestic Glory" or "when he heard the voice of the Majestic Glory speak to him" or "when the Majestic Glory spoke to him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# the Majestic Glory saying
Peter refers to God in terms of his glory. This is a euphemism that avoids using God's name, out of reverence for him. AT: "God, the Supreme Glory, saying" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism]])
# We ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven
With the word "We," Peter is referring to himself and to the disciples James and John, who heard the voice of God. AT: "We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])
# heard this voice brought from heaven
"heard the voice of the one who spoke from heaven"
# we were with him
"we were with Jesus"
