Bible Question: Where are they right now? Does it means they live more than 2000 years?

Mt 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Mr 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Lu 9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

Bible Answer: The best translator of the Bible is the Bible it’s self.
Matthew 16:28 (NKJV)
28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."
Matthew 17:1-3 (NKJV)
1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

Suffice to say with the exact dates in question, that the original Word of God wasn’t divided into chapters and verses.

The Bible was divided into present-day chapters by Stephen Langton about 1200 CE. Verses were separated and numbered by Robert Stephanus in 1557.

What I am trying to say is, when Matt. 16:28 is connected with Matt. 17:1-3, i.e. no chapter brake, the situation makes sense. It tells who the individuals are and what they saw.
Text taken out of context is usually for a pretext!
