# But truly I say to you Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the importance of what he will say next. # there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see Jesus was speaking to the people he was talking about. Alternate translation: "some of you who are standing here will not experience death before you see" # will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God "will see the kingdom of God before they die" or "will see the kingdom of God before you die"
