Bible Answer: Greetings Candy Lee, Matthew 16:28 "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." [NASB] Mark 9:1 "And Jesus was saying to them, "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power." [NASB] Luke 9:27 "But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God." [NASB] Here is a bit of commentary on these verses... [Matthew] "16:28 There are two main interpretations of this verse: 1. It is a prediction of the transfiguration, which happened a week later (17:1) and which demonstrated that Jesus will return in His Father's glory (16:27). 2. It refers to the Son of Man's authority and kingly reign in His post-resurrection church. Some of His disciples will witness- even participated in- this as described in the book of Acts. The context seems to favor the first view. See note on 2 Pet. 1:16." (1) [Mark] "9:1 ... not taste death till they see the kingdom. The event Jesus had in mind has been variously interpreted as His resurrection and ascension, the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost, the spread of Christianity, or the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. The most accurate interpretation, however, is to connect Christ's promise with the Transfiguration in the context (vv.2-8), which provided a foretaste of His second coming glory. That all 3 synoptic gospels place this promise immediately before the Transfiguration supports this view, as does the fact that "kingdom" can refer to royal splendor." (2) [Matthew] "16:28 see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. This was fulfilled when the disciples witnessed the Transfiguration (17:1-8), which was, in miniature, a preview of the kingdom, with the Lord appearing in a state of glory (Dan. 7:9-14)." (3) "The transfiguration: a picture of the future kingdom (Mk. 9:2-13; Lk. 9:28-36)."
