Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces the content clause whose main verb is the present indicative eisin {εἰσίν | eisín} ‘there are’, and its subject is tines tōn hōde hestōtōn {τινες τῶν ὧδε ἑστώτων | tínes tōn hôde hestṓtōn} ‘some of those standing here’, with the perfect participle hestōtōn marking a sustained, present action.
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.
