That's interesting, but this is actually what I had in mind: http://biblehub.com/matthew/16-28.htm http://biblehub.com/matthew/16-28.htm Matthew 16:28 > Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. http://biblehub.com/mark/9-1.htm http://biblehub.com/mark/9-1.htm Mark 9:1 > And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. I'm sure that can be interpreted many ways, but the meaning seems pretty clear: Jesus himself supposedly said in a sermon that there were people listening to him who would not die before he came back. Even better, perhaps, is Matthew 24:34 (also in other gospels, of course): http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-34.htm http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-34.htm > Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. It's always possible to interpret things. However, that is, if anything, even clearer than the above, and interpreting it some other way seems more like a method of getting out of a failed prophecy than legitimate textual analysis.
