My understanding of Jesus' comment is that He was referring to Peter, James, and John. He was not saying that they would not die (since all of them did, in fact, die), but He was speaking of the glorified vision of Christ (along with Moses and Elijah, representing the Law and the Prophets, as well as the voice of God the Father) that those three apostles would shortly thereafter experience during the Transfiguration of Jesus, as related in Matthew 17:1-8 (as well as in Mark 9:2-13 and Luke 9:28-36). (There is also a reference to it by Peter in 2 Peter 1:16-18.)
