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.
In case you haven't figured it out, he was speaking of John. You know, the guy that wrote the book of Revelation?
Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Nice choice of version.
New International Version:
28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
Are is plural, therefore some is plural. How many John's were there?
Oh - and I thought none of the gospels were written by eye witnesses - isn't it the same John that wrote the gospel that wrote Revelations?
The gospels of John weren't even written by the apostle.
Quote:Many modern scholars conclude that the apostle John wrote none of these works,[4]

As far as Revelation:
Quote:More recent methods of scholarship, such as textual criticism, have been influential in suggesting that John the Apostle, John the Evangelist, and John of Patmos were three separate individuals. Differences in style, theological content, and familiarity with Greek between the Gospel of John, the epistles of John, and the Revelation are seen by some scholars as indicating three separate authors.[16]

The bible is full of authors pretending to be other authors while disguised as another author, 30-100+ years later, while gospels we can prove originated in the same area around 2 CE are voted out as "non canonical," including the Gospel of Mary, which actually would make Mark's commentary on women make sense.
