27 But I tell you truly, there are isome standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 lBeing asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The mkingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor will they say, n‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”1
31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the akingdom of God is near. 32 Truly, I say to you, bthis generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
The Ascension
6 kSo when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this ltime restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive mpower when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my nwitnesses in oJerusalem and in all pJudea and qSamaria, and to the rend of the earth.”
