16:28 What did Jesus mean when He said, "There be some standing here which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom?

16:28 What did Jesus mean when He said, “There be some standing here which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom?

Most commentators agree that Jesus is referring to Peter, James and John here who were to shortly see Him in His glory at His transfiguration on the mountain in Mt 17 (cp Mt 17:1-9).

The transfiguration was a preview of Christ’s future eternal glory in the coming Kingdom of Heaven.

It is also recorded in Mk 9:1-8; Lk 9:27-36 and 2Pe (cp 2Pe 1:16-18).
