²² Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain ^(A)until ^(B)I come, what is that to you? ^(C)You follow me!”

9 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not ^(A)taste death ^(B)until they see the kingdom of God after it has come ^(C)with power.”

^27 (A)For the Son of Man is going to come with ^(B)his angels in the glory of his Father, and ^(C)then he will repay each person according to what he has done. ²⁸ Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not ^(D)taste death ^(E)until they see the Son of Man ^(F)coming in his kingdom.”

²⁵ Only hold fast ^(A)what you have until I come.

⁵ Therefore ^(A)do not pronounce judgment before the time, ^(B)before the Lord comes, ^(C)who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. ^(D)Then each one will receive his commendation from God.

^11 (A)I am coming soon. ^(B)Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize ^(C)your crown.

Patience in Suffering

⁷ Be patient, therefore, brothers,^[a] until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives ^(A)the early and the late rains.

²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death ^(A)until he comes.

¹⁹ (This he said to show ^(A)by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, ^(B)“Follow me.”
