Lucas 21:34

34 Estad alerta, no sea que vuestro corazón se cargue con disipación y embriaguez y con las preocupaciones de la vida, y aquel día venga súbitamente sobre vosotros como un lazo;

Lucas 21:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:34

And take heed to yourselves
To your souls and bodies, to your lives and conversations; be upon your watch and guard: lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness;
with excessive eating and drinking; for these, as they oppress and burden the stomach, and disorder the body, so they stupefy the senses, and make the mind dull and heavy, and unfit for spiritual and religious exercises; such as reading, meditation, and prayer: and cares of this life;
concealing food and clothing, what you shall eat or drink, or wherewith ye shall be clothed; all such anxious and worldly cares, being that to the soul, as intemperance is to the body; for there is such a thing as being inebriated with the world, as well as with wine: and so that day come upon you unawares;
the day of Jerusalem's destruction; and this suggests, that such would be the carnality and security of some persons, and so they would be surprised with ruin at once; see ( Luke 17:26-30 ) .

Lucas 21:34 In-Context

32 En verdad os digo que no pasará esta generación hasta que todo esto suceda.

33 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, mas mis palabras no pasarán.

34 Estad alerta, no sea que vuestro corazón se cargue con disipación y embriaguez y con las preocupaciones de la vida, y aquel día venga súbitamente sobre vosotros como un lazo;

35 porque vendrá sobre todos los que habitan sobre la faz de toda la tierra.

36 Mas velad en todo tiempo, orando para que tengáis fuerza para escapar de todas estas cosas que están por suceder, y podáis estar en pie delante del Hijo del Hombre.
