  1. Matthew 16:27 Like a King, as Matt. 6:29.
  2. Matthew 16:28 By his kingdom is understood the glory of his ascension, and what followeth thereof, Eph. 4:10, or the preaching of the Gospel, Mark 9:1.

28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
