Luke 9:27

27 I tell you the truth: there are some standing here who will not taste 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 is a man benefited if he gains the whole world, yet loses or forfeits himself?

26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and that of the Father and the holy angels.

27 I tell you the truth: there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."

28 About eight days after these words, He took along Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

29 As He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became dazzling white.
