34 “But (A)be on your guard, so that your hearts will not be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that [a]this day will not come on you suddenly, like a trap; 35 for it will come upon all those who live on the face of all the earth. 36 But (B)stay alert at all times, praying that you will have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to (C)stand before the Son of Man.”

37 Now [b]during the day He was (D)teaching in the temple, but [c](E)at evening He would go out and spend the night on (F)the [d]mountain that is called [e]Olivet. 38 And all the people would get up (G)very early in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him.
