In context
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke [as they were] moved by the Holy Spirit.
