2 Peter 1:14

Peter’s Approaching Death

12 For this reason ^aI will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, ^bthough you know and are established in the present truth.

13 Yes, I think it is right, ^aas long as I am in this tent, ^bto stir you up by reminding you,

14 ^aknowing that shortly I must¹ put off my tent, just as ^bour Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my¹ decease.

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word

16 For we did not follow ^acunningly devised fables when we made known to you the ^bpower and ^ccoming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were ^deyewitnesses of His majesty.

17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: ^a“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on ^athe holy mountain.

II Peter 1:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle. Must die very soon. Even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. Christ had predicted his death as a martyr (John 21:18). It is to this prediction that Peter refers.
