Mark 9:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:1

And he said unto them
Both to his disciples, and the multitude,

verily I say unto you, there be some of them that stand here;
that were then living, and upon the spot,

which shall not taste of death,
or die,

till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
