In Luke 9:35, God the Father speaks from a cloud, saying that Jesus is His beloved Son, whom He has chosen, and telling us to listen to Him.

As we listen to Jesus, we can experience the joy and peace that comes from following Him.

Ellicott's Commentary on Luke 9:35

(35) This is my beloved Son.—The better MSS. give “chosen.” (Comp. the use of a like word in 1 Peter 2:4; 1 Peter 2:6.) Assuming this to have been the original reading, the “beloved” of the received text must have originated in the wish to produce a verbal as well as a substantial agreement with the other Gospels.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Luke 9:35

Verse 35. This is my beloved Son] Instead of οαγαπητος, the beloved one, some MSS. and versions have εκλεκτος, the chosen one: and the AEthiopic translator, as in several other cases, to be sure of the true reading, retains both. In whom I am well pleased, or have delighted-is added by some very ancient MSS. Perhaps this addition is taken from Matthew 17:5.
