Somewhere in the new testament Jesus is speaking, I beleive to his disciples and is talking about his second coming. He says something like it will be within the lifetime of some of those present. Does anyone please know which book and verse this is?
Thank you in anticipation

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.
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.
Luke 9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

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."
However, it's not a reference to the final/ second coming of Christ in judgement, but rather to the establishment of the church which is His spiritual kingdom on earth. If it were a reference to the 2nd coming, there would be some REALLY old people around somewhere, since that hasn't happened yet. We can know this because when He comes the second time in final judgement, the earth will cease to exist: "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." (2 Peter 3:10)

NickofTyme got it.
And there's no mistake. He did rise again and establish His kingdom, just as planned. As He told Pilate, His kingdom is spiritual, not physical.
There were those present who did not die before His church (kingdom) was established in Acts.
No one knows when His second coming will be. But that's not what He said would happen before some of those present died.

I believe that it is in revelations, though most people do not like to hear it. If you get a CD ROM of the bible it will be easier to find. The same flaw appears in the Book of Mormon.

And three of those men hearing Him say that (above scriptures) saw him standing with Moses and Elijah, and they were so bright with glory those men fell down and covered their faces.
It's a pretty good story. But I get the feeling you've already read it.

It's in Matthew when Jesus is born. (Whcih is not you mortal) He does his teachings in the Bible just keep on reading.
