Matthew 17 follows on from this starting....
Six days later Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John along and led them up into a lofty mountain by themselves.+ 2 And he was transfigured before them; his face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant* as the light.+ 3 And look! there appeared to them Moses and E·liʹjah conversing with him. 4 Then Peter said to Jesus: “Lord, it is fine for us to be here. If you wish, I will erect three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for E·liʹjah.” 5 While he was still speaking, look! a bright cloud overshadowed them, and look! a voice out of the cloud+ said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.+ Listen to him.”+
This vision was seen by the 3 apostles. It was a surety that Jesus would be the head of the heavenly kingdom. They saw a glimps, by means of this vision, of Jesus future role in the heavenly kingdom.
So yes, 'some of those standing here shall not taste death till they see the son of man coming in his kingdom"
As for Matthew 17..which as nothing to do with Matthew 16:28. Which Jesus Christ stated "there be some standing here, which will not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom"
Which there were some still alive to witness the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ coming in his Kingdom.
