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 good does it do for people to win the whole world but lose their lives by destroying them?

26 If people are ashamed of me and what I say, the Son of Man will be ashamed of those people when he comes in the glory that he shares with the Father and the holy angels.

27 "I can guarantee this truth: Some people who are standing here will not die until they see the kingdom of God."

28 About eight days after he had said this, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a mountain to pray.

29 While Jesus was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.
