Luke 21:34-38

Be Alert

34 "But take care for yourselves, lest your hearts are weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of daily life, and that day come upon you suddenly

35 like a trap. For it will come upon all who reside on the face of the whole earth.

36 But be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these [things] [that] are going to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."

37 So [throughout] the days he was teaching in the temple [courts], and [throughout] the nights he was going out [and] spending the night on the hill that is called [the Mount] of Olives.

38 And all the people were getting up very early in the morning [to come] to him in the temple [courts] to listen to him.
