Not only is it a matter of interpretation it is a matter of whom to believe.Considering that the first gospel Mark was not written or revealed till about 50 to 60 years after the alleged death of Christ.None of the words in the bible attributed to Christ were copied as he spoke them so basically none of the words in scripture are actually the words of Christ.They are instead the words of the authors of those gospels hence the many contradictions in the story of Jesus and the things he supposedly said.
I see a liar when they put in his mouth that he would return before many of those that were with him would not taste of death.The transfiguration is far from the coming of the kingdom of god on Earth.Many of his followers believed that he would return in their lifetime not 2000 + years later.When he does not show up in our time the christians can keep playing this card by simply saying as the bible says "no one knows the hour nor the day of his coming".We could use that till eternity and continue the false pretenses that religion gives people.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
