The Father's Declaration
Commentators agree that the central event described is God the Father audibly affirming Jesus's identity. The voice from the 'Majestic Glory' (a term for God's glorious presence, likely the Shekinah cloud) bestowed 'honor and glory' upon Jesus. This divine declaration, 'This is my beloved Son,' serves as the ultimate proof of Jesus's Messiahship and the foundation of the gospel message.
