Luke 21:34-38

Watch Yourselves

34 "But watch yourselves ¹lest ²your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and ³cares of this life, and ⁴that day come upon you suddenly ⁵like a trap.

35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 But ⁶stay awake at all times, ⁷praying that you may ⁸have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and ⁹to stand before the Son of Man."

37 And ¹⁰every day he was teaching in the temple, but ¹¹at night he went out and lodged on ¹²the mount called Olivet.

38 And early in the morning ¹³all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.
