Then Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. Some of you people standing here will see the kingdom of God come before you die. The kingdom of God will come with power.”
“At that time, there will be something in the sky that shows the Son of Man {\cf2\super [377]} coming. All the people of the world will cry. All the people will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky. The Son of Man will come with power and great glory.
“The Son of Man {\cf2\super [388]} will come again. He will come with great glory. All his angels will come with him. He will be king and sit on his great throne.
So a story spread among the brothers (followers). They were saying that this follower \{that Jesus loved\} would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die. He only said, “Maybe I want him to live until I come. That should not be important to you.”
For a short time Jesus was made lower than the angels, but now we see him wearing a crown of glory and honor because he suffered and died. Because of God’s grace (kindness) Jesus died for every person.
