Context of Luke 9:27

25For what shall a man profit if he shall have gained the whole world, and have destroyed, or come under the penalty of the loss of himself? 26For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and [in that] of the Father, and of the holy angels. But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God. 28And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray. 29And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white [and] effulgent.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27This difficult verse might refer to: the second coming of Christ; the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70; the resurrection of Jesus; or the transfiguration (when the appearance of Jesus changed and his glory was shown), which immediately follows in 9:28–36. The last possibility is the most likely.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2727. not taste of death fill they see the kingdom of God--"see it come with power" (Mr 9:1); or see "the Son of man coming in His kingdom" (Mt 16:28).
