This voice (tautēn tēn phōnēn). The one referred to in 2Pe 1:17.
We heard (ēkousamen). First aorist active indicative of akouō, a definite experience of Peter.
Brought (enechtheisan). “Borne” as in 2Pe 1:17.
When we were with him (sun autōi ontes). Present active participle of eimi, “being with him.”
In the holy mount (en tōi hagiōi orei). Made holy by the majestic glory. See Eze 28:14 for “holy mount of God,” there Sinai, this one probably one of the lower slopes of Hermon. Peter’s account is independent of the Synoptic narrative, but agrees with it in all essentials.
