The verses around 2 Peter 1:20.
18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Verse explanation
Saying that “no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation” concerns the origin of these prophecies, not how to read them today: the point, explained in the next verse, is that the prophets did not invent messages on their own, but spoke inspired by the Holy Spirit.
From the 2 Peter 1 study in Bible in Stories.
