SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:27

Y os digo en verdad, que hay algunos de los que están aquí, que no gustarán la muerte, hasta que vean el Reino de Dios.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 18-27 - It is an unspeakable comfort that our Lord Jesus is God's Anointed this signifies that he was both appointed to be the Messiah, an qualified for it. Jesus discourses concerning his own sufferings an death. And so far must his disciples be from thinking how to preven his sufferings, that they must prepare for their own. We often mee with crosses in the way of duty; and though we must not pull them upo our own heads, yet, when they are laid for us, we must take them up and carry them after Christ. It is well or ill with us, according as it is well or ill with our souls. The body cannot be happy, if the soul be miserable in the other world; but the soul may be happy, though the body is greatly afflicted and oppressed in this world. We must never be ashamed of Christ and his gospel.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

27. Taste of death. The word taste, in the sense of experience, is often used in classical Greek; as, to taste of toils, of sorrow, of freedom, but never of death. The phrase, taste of death, is common in Rabbinical writings. In the New Testament only here and Heb. ii. 9, used of Christ. Chrysostom (cited by Alford) compares Christ to a physician who first tastes his medicines to encourage the sick to take them.

The kingdom of God. See on ch. vi. 20.

28-36. Compare Matt. xvii. 1-13; Mark ix. 2-13.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

9:27 {Till they see} (hews an idwsin). Second aorist active subjunctive with hews and an referring to the future, an idiomatic construction. So in #Mr 9:1; Mt 16:28. In all three passages "shall not taste of death" (ou me geuswntai qanatou, double negative with aorist middle subjunctive) occurs also. Rabbinical writings use this figure. Like a physician Christ tasted death that we may see how to die. Jesus referred to the cross as " this cup" (#Mr 14:36; Mt 26:39; Lu 22:42). Mark speaks of the kingdom of God as "come" (eleluquian, second perfect active participle). Matthew as "coming" (ercomenon) referring to the Son of man, while Luke has neither form. See Matthew and Mark for discussion of the theories of interpretation of this difficult passage. The Transfiguration follows in a week and may be the first fulfilment in the mind of Jesus. It may also symbolically point to the second coming.
