{For} (gar). The reason for the previous statement that no
prophet starts a prophecy himself. He is not a self-starter.
{Came} ((886e)echth(885c)). First aorist passive indicative of pher(935c)
(verses  17f. ). {By the will of man} (	hel(886d)ati anthr(9370)ou).
Instrumental case of 	hel(886d)a. Prophecy is of divine origin, not
of one's private origination (idias epiluse(9373)). {Moved by the
Holy Ghost} (hupo pneumatos hagiou pheromenoi). Present passive
participle of pher(935c), moved from time to time. There they "spoke
from God." Peter is not here warning against personal
interpretation of prophecy as the Roman Catholics say, but
against the folly of upstart prophets with no impulse from God.
