Luke 9:27 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:27

But I tell you of a truth
And let it be received as such; you may assure yourselves of it, that not only at the last day, the son of man will come in this glorious manner, and show his resentment to all such as have been ashamed of him; but, also

there be some standing here, which shall not, taste of death till they
see the kingdom of God;
the Gospel dispensation visibly taking place, both among Jews and Gentiles, upon the resurrection of Christ, and the pouring fourth of his Spirit; and when it should come in power both in the conversion of God's elect in great numbers, and in the destruction of the Jewish nation, for their rejection, of the Messiah: (See Gill on Matthew 16:28)

Luke 9:27 In-Context

25 For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

26 For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

27 But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

28 And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

29 And while he was in prayer, his face was changed and his clothing became white and shining.
