Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Peter 1:17

17 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.

Either Honour and Glory for glorious Honour; or Glory may relate to that Lustre which appeared in the Body of Christ at his Transfiguration, Matth. 17.2. and Honour to the Voice which came to him from his Father, and the honourable Testimony thereby given him.

Either from Heaven, or from the glorious God the Father of Christ, who, by this Voice, did in a special manner manifest his glorious Presence.

I. e. This is the Messiah to often promised, and therefore all that was spoken of the Messiah in the Law and the Prophets, centers in him.

This implies not only that Christ is peculiarly the Beloved of the Father, but that all they that are adopted to God by Faith in Christ, are beloved, and graciously accepted in and through him, Matth. 3.17. Iohn 17.26. Ephes. 1.6.
