2 Peter3:2

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets , and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour .

The Word of Prophecy, ch. 1.19. he joyns the Prophets and Apostles together as concurring in their Doctrine, and so useth it as an Argument to perswade them to Constancy in the Faith of the Gospel, that what the Apostles preached to them, was confirmed by what the Prophets under the Old-Testament had taught before, Acts 26.22. Ephes. 2.20.

By this he means the whole Doctrine of the Gospel preached by him, and the other Apostles. See ch. 2.21. and 1 Iohn 3.23.

Who was the Author of this Commandment, and the Principal in giving it, and from whom the Apostles received it, who were but Ministers, and Instruments in delivering it to others.
