WAS JESUS WRONG?

[Mark 9:1 KJV] 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.
There are some who use this verse to say Jesus was mistaken. He
said there would be some standing there with him who would not
die till they saw the kingdom on earth. Jesus was wrong, the
Bible has errors, since those standing there with Jesus have
died and the kingdom is yet to come.
Reading scripture superficially, and not realizing that our
obvious understanding in reading may be wrong can lead to rashly
accusing scripture of error.
Jesus was not mistaken, Jesus was speaking to the people, and
the disciples, and said there be some of them that stand here,
not at that time, but in a future time. In the future there
would be people standing in that exact spot who would be alive
to see the coming of the kingdom. Jesus was not saying this
about those standing with him.
[Mark 9:2 KJV] 2 And after six days Jesus taketh [with him]
Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high
mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before
them..............This passage is called "the transfiguration",
and is used to explain Mark 9:1. They say that when the
disciples saw Jesus transfigured it fulfilled Jesus saying they
would see him in the power of his coming.
First of all, seeing the glory, and the majesty of Jesus, is not
seeing the kingdom on earth. This passage is used to explain
Mark 9:1 because of it's proximity to verse 1 as the next event.
Secondly, Peter says they were eyewitnesses of his majesty as
well, not of his kingdom...............[2Peter 1:16-18 KJV] 16
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made
known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from
God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to
him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we
heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.............In
verse 16 Peter does say he made known the power and coming of
the Lord Jesus Christ, but did not say it was by his
transfiguration.
[Mark 9:9-10 KJV] 9 And as they came down from the mountain, he
charged them that they should tell no man what things they had
seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. 10 And they
kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another
what the rising from the dead should mean..................what
struck me was, in verse 10, they didn't know what the
resurrection of Christ meant. How could, as some say, there is
only one gospel found in the Bible, and Peter and the eleven
preached it. How could they preach the resurrection for our
salvation if they didn't know what it meant?
