Luke 21:36 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:36

Watch ye therefore, and pray always
Watch against every sin, snare, and temptation; particularly, against the above things, surfeiting, drunkenness, and worldly cares; pray continually, for fresh supplies of grace: that ye may be counted worthy;
not for watchfulness and prayer, but through the grace and goodness of God: to escape all these things that shall come to pass;
the dreadful miseries and distress, that shall come upon the Jews: and to stand before the Son of man;
with intrepidity, confidence, and pleasure; and meet him at his coming in this way, with joy and comfort; and likewise at death, and at judgment; see ( 1 John 2:28 ) .

Luke 21:36 In-Context

34 "Take care that your hearts aren't dulled by drinking parties, drunkenness, and the anxieties of day-to-day life. Don't let that day fall upon you unexpectedly,

35 like a trap. It will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the whole earth.

36 Stay alert at all times, praying that you are strong enough to escape everything that is about to happen and to stand before the Human One."

37 Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, but he spent each night on the Mount of Olives.
