Luke 9:27

But I tell you truthfully, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:27 · BSB

Luke 9:27 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 9.

23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?

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

27 But I tell you truthfully, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

28 About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.

30 Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.

31 They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
