Luke 21:34-38

New International Reader's Version

³⁴ “Be careful. If you aren’t, your hearts will be loaded down with wasteful living, drunkenness and the worries of life. Then the day the Son of Man returns will close on you like a trap. It will happen suddenly. ³⁵ That day will come on every person who lives on the whole earth. ³⁶ Always keep watching. Pray that you will be able to escape all that is about to happen. Also, pray that you will not be judged guilty when the Son of Man comes.”

³⁷ Each day Jesus taught at the temple. And each evening he went to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives. ³⁸ All the people came to the temple early in the morning. They wanted to hear Jesus speak.
