"TrulyI sayto you, there are someof thosewho are standingherewhowill not tastedeathuntilthey seethe Sonof Mancomingin His kingdom."
"But wheneverthey persecuteyou in onecity,fleeto the next;for trulyI sayto you, you will not finish[going through] the citiesof Israeluntilthe Sonof Mancomes.
Nowwhen Jesuscameinto the districtof CaesareaPhilippi,He was askingHis disciples,"Whodo peoplesaythat the Sonof Manis?"
As He was sittingon the Mountof Olives,the disciplescameto Him privately,saying, "Tellus, whenwill these thingshappen,and what[will be] the signof Your coming,and of the endof the age?"
"TrulyI sayto you, thisgenerationwill not pass awayuntilallthese thingstake place.
"Thereforebe on the alert,for you do not knowwhichdayyour Lordis coming.
Jesussaidto him, "You have saidit [yourself]; neverthelessI tellyou, hereafteryou will seeTHE SONOF MANSITTINGAT THE RIGHT HANDOF POWER,and COMINGON THE CLOUDSOF HEAVEN."
Jesussaidto him, "The foxeshaveholesand the birdsof the air[have] nests,but the Sonof Manhasnowhereto layHis head."
"Thenthey will seeTHE SONOF MANCOMINGIN CLOUDSwith greatpowerand glory.
"For whoeveris ashamedof Me and My wordsin thisadulterousand sinfulgeneration,the Sonof Manwill alsobe ashamedof him whenHe comesin the gloryof His Fatherwith the holyangels."
And Jesus was sayingto them, "TrulyI sayto you, there are someof thosewho are standingherewhowill not tastedeathuntilthey seethe kingdomof Godafter it has comewith power."
"I tellyou that He will bring aboutjusticefor them quickly.However,when the Sonof Mancomes,will He findfaithon the earth?"
And it had beenrevealedto him by the HolySpiritthat he would not seedeathbeforehe had seenthe Lord'sChrist.
"But I sayto you truthfully,there are someof thosestandingherewhowill not tastedeathuntilthey seethe kingdomof God."
Jesussaidto him, "IfI wanthim to remainuntilI come,what[is that] to you? You followMe!"
"Truly,truly,I sayto you, ifanyonekeepsMy wordhe will neverseedeath."
The Jewssaidto Him, "Nowwe knowthat You havea demon.Abrahamdied,and the prophets[also]; and You say,'IfanyonekeepsMy word,he will nevertasteof death.'
They alsosaid,"Menof Galilee,whydo you standlookinginto the sky?ThisJesus,who has been takenup from you into heaven,will comein justthe same wayas you have watchedHim gointo heaven."
But eachin his ownorder:Christthe first fruits,afterthat thosewhoare Christ'sat His coming,
and to waitfor His Sonfrom heaven,whomHe raisedfrom the dead,[that is] Jesus,who rescuesus from the wrathto come.
But we do seeHim who was madefor a little whilelowerthanthe angels,[namely], Jesus,becauseof the sufferingof deathcrownedwith gloryand honor,sothat by the graceof GodHe might tastedeathfor everyone.
Thereforebe patient,brethren,untilthe comingof the Lord.The farmerwaitsfor the preciousproduceof the soil,being patientaboutit, untilit getsthe earlyand laterains.
For we did not followcleverly devisedtaleswhen we made knownto you the powerand comingof our LordJesusChrist,but we were eyewitnessesof His majesty.
Now,little children,abidein Him, sothat whenHe appears,we may haveconfidenceand not shrinkawayfrom Him in shameat His coming.
