Or (E)what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 (F)For the Son of Man is going to come with (G)his angels in the glory of his Father, and (H)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 (I)taste death (J)until they see the Son of Man (K)coming in his kingdom.”
