²² Jesus said to him, “If I ^[a]will that he remain ^(A)till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”

The Transfiguration of Christ^(A)

9 And He said to them, ^(B)“Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see ^(C)the kingdom of God ^[a]present with power.”

²⁷ For ^(A)the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father ^(B)with His angels, ^(C)and then He will reward each according to his works. ²⁸ Assuredly, I say to you, ^(D)there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

²⁵ But hold fast ^(A)what you have till I come.

^5 (A)Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to ^(B)light the hidden things of darkness and ^(C)reveal the ^[a]counsels of the hearts. ^(D)Then each one’s praise will come from God.

^11 [a]Behold, ^(A)I am coming quickly! ^(B)Hold fast what you have, that no one may take ^(C)your crown.

Be Patient and Persevering

⁷ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death ^(A)till He comes.

¹⁹ This He spoke, signifying ^(A)by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, ^(B)“Follow Me.”
