ACC ~ 2 Peter 1 v17

THE SON RECEIVED GLORY. HILARY OF ARLES: The one who received glory and honor was not inferior to the one who bestowed these things, because it was in his human flesh that the Son received them, not in his eternal divinity. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 2 PETER.

THE SECOND EPISTLE WRITTEN BY PETER. GREGORY THE GREAT: There used to be many people who thought that this letter was not written by Peter. But it is enough to read this verse, and you will soon see that it was Peter who stood with Jesus on the mount of transfiguration. It is therefore the same Peter who heard the voice testifying to the Lord who wrote this letter. SERMONS ON EZEKIEL 2.6.11.

THREE TIMES CONFIRMED. THEOPHYLACT: Peter knew that Jesus received the Father’s confirmation from heaven on three different occasions, in his baptism, at his passion and on the mountain. However, this was the one which he himself witnessed. COMMENTARY ON 2 PETER.
