馬太福音 16:28 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 16:28

The coming of the Son of man. "Not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." This is immediately suggested. "Christ's coming," and "Christ's coming in his kingdom," must be phrases used with a variety of meanings and with a variety of references. We begin to feel that it must be used as a proverbial phrase. Various explanations of our Lord's meaning have been given. Examine three. I. CHRIST CAME IN HIS KINGDOM AT THE TRANSFIGURATION .

And that you may not doubt that there shall be a day of judgment, when I shall come clothed with divine majesty, to render unto men according to their actions in this life, let me assure you there are some here present that shall not die till they shall see a faint representation of this, in events which will soon take place, especially in my coming to set up my mediatorial kingdom with great power and glory, in the increase of my... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:24-28

74. Test of true discipleship (Matthew 16:24-28; Mark 8:34-9:1; Luke 9:23-27)Immediately after telling his disciples of his coming suffering and death, Jesus told them they had to be prepared for similar treatment. The disciples of Jesus are those who have given their lives to Jesus, and they will be obedient to their master even if it leads to hardship, persecution and death. They will no longer rule their own lives, but will deny themselves personal desires in order to please Jesus. In... read more

Verily. See note on Matthew 5:18 . be = are. some = some of those. till. The particle an, with the Subjunctive Mood, gives this a hypothetical force.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 16:28

Verily I say unto you, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.Mark's account of this statement is, "Verily I say unto you, there are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power" (Mark 9:1).Both the Herald and Christ preached the kingdom as "at hand." The passage here supplemented that information by making it certain to appear during... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 16:28

Matthew 16:28. Verily I say unto you— Because the doctrine of Christ's being constituted universal judge might appear to the disciples incredible at that time, on account of his humiliation, he told them, that some of them should not taste of death till they saw him coming in his kingdom; and by that should have not only a proof of his being the judge, but an example of the judgment which he was to execute: "Do not doubt that there shall be a day of judgment, when I shall come clothed with... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 16:28

28. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here—"some of those standing here." which shall not taste of death, fill they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom—or, as in Mark (Mark 9:1), "till they see the kingdom of God come with power"; or, as in Luke (Mark 9:1- :), more simply still, "till they see the kingdom of God." The reference, beyond doubt, is to the firm establishment and victorious progress, in the lifetime of some then present, of that new kingdom of Christ, which was... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 16:28

The announcement of the kingdom’s appearing 16:28 (cf. Mark 9:1; Luke 9:27)Jesus revealed next that some of the disciples whom He addressed would not die until they saw Him coming in His kingdom. This prediction may at first appear to be very similar to the one in Matthew 10:23. However, that verse refers to something else, namely, Jesus’ reunion with His disciples following their preaching tour in Galilee.This verse (Matthew 16:28) cannot mean that Jesus returned to set up the messianic... read more
