Luke 9:27

27 I tell you the truth, there are some people standing here who will not experience death until they see the Kingdom of God."

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 What will it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but destroys or forfeits his own life?
26 For if someone is ashamed of me and of what I say, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 I tell you the truth, there are some people standing here who will not experience death until they see the Kingdom of God."
28 About a week after Yeshua said these things, he took Kefa, Yochanan and Ya`akov with him and went up to the hill country to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed; and his clothing became gleaming white.
