E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Matthew 16:28

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. Compare the four "tills" (Matthew 10:23 ; Matthew 16:28 ; Matthew 23:39 ; Matthew 24:34 ; Matthew 26:29 ). see = may have seen. App-133 . See notes on " an " above and below. Greek. eidon.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 16:27

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds.Christ stated above that he would come in the glory of God with his angels. Could a mere man have said that? This can be nothing less than a prophecy of the general resurrection and judgment of the last day. The basis of that judgment shall include (1) the word of Christ (John 12:48), and (2) the deeds done in the body (2 Corinthians 5:10). No number of angels... read more

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 16:27

Matthew 16:27. For the Son of man shall come, &c.— That the argument in the preceding verse, by which the necessity of self-denial is so clearly established, might have the greater weight, our Lord spake more particularly concerning the rewards and punishments of a future state; assuring his disciples, that they are all to be distributed by himself, the Father having appointed him universal Judge; so that his enemies cannot flatter themselves with the hope of escaping condign punishment,... 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 16:27

27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels—in the splendor of His Father's authority and with all His angelic ministers, ready to execute His pleasure. and then he shall reward, &c. 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 16:24-27

The cost and reward of discipleship 16:24-27 (cf. Mark 8:34-38; Luke 9:23-26)Jesus proceeded to clarify the way of discipleship. He had just explained what was involved in messiahship, and now He explained what is involved in discipleship. In view of Jesus’ death, His disciples, as well as He, would have to die to self. However, they could rejoice in the assurance that the kingdom would come eventually. Glory would follow suffering. Interestingly this was one of Peter’s main emphases in his... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 16:27

God’s future judgment of His disciples, as well as Jesus’ example, should be an inducement to deny self, identify with Christ, and follow Him (Matthew 16:24; cf. Matthew 10:24-25). This verse teaches both eschatology and Christology. Jesus will come with the glory of His Father when He returns to earth at His second coming (Revelation 19:11-16). Jesus is the Son of Man (Daniel 7:13) who will come with the same glory that God enjoys. The angels will enhance His glory and assist Him in gathering... read more
