Exegesis
The temporal clause introduced by heōs an idōsin {ἕως ἂν ἴδωσιν | héōs án ídōsin} uses heōs plus the subjunctive to denote the forthcoming condition “until they see,” with idōsin as an aorist subjunctive describing the future act of seeing.
In context — Matthew 16:28
Truly, I say to you, some standing here will certainly not taste of death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.
