The narrative progresses to Jesus highlighting future judgment, with the Son of Man coming in glory to repay each person according to their deeds. This underscores the gravity of discipleship, urging believers to take it seriously. In verse 28, Jesus prophesies that some present will witness the Son of Man coming with his kingdom. Matthew records the near fulfillment in the subsequent verses, presenting the mysterious Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17:1-13. This event provides profound insights into Jesus’ nature, the continuity of divine revelation, and the disciples’ faith journey.
