What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
And we know the Father's testimony concerning the sonship of our Lord Jesus Christ to be threefold: one at the Baptism (Matt. 3:17), another before the sufferings, when it was said: "and I have glorified it, and will glorify it again" (Jn. 12:28). And the third on Mount Tabor (Matt. 17:5).
Western Saints
Bede
And we heard this voice brought from heaven, etc. Some deny that this Epistle was written by the blessed Apostle Peter; had they carefully attended to this verse and what follows: When we were with him on the holy mountain, they would by no means doubt the author of this Epistle. For it is established, according to the faith of the Gospels, that Peter, along with his fellow apostles James and John, heard that aforementioned voice when the Lord was glorified on the mountain.
Hippolytus of Rome
Now the Logos of God controls all these; the first begotten Child of the Father, the voice of the Dawn antecedent to the Morning Star.
