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 “Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware,
35 like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.
36 Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Every day Jesus went to the Temple to teach, and each evening he returned to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.
