Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. (x) By his kingdom is understood the glory of his ascension, and what follows after that, , or the preaching of the gospel, .
Christ showed He must suffer; now He shows His disciples must suffer too, and willingly. A true disciple comes after Him as sheep after shepherd, soldiers after captain, not one who prescribes to Him as Peter just did. This is a deliberate choice and cheerful resolution, not accident or another's will.
