Luke 21:34-38
New International Version
34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life,(A) and that day will close on you suddenly(B) like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray(C) that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Each day Jesus was teaching at the temple,(D) and each evening he went out(E) to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives,(F) 38 and all the people came early in the morning to hear him at the temple.(G)

34 “Be on your guard,(A) so that your minds are not dulled[a] from carousing,[b] drunkenness,(B) and worries of life,(C) or that day will come on you unexpectedly(D) 35 like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 But be alert at all times,(E) praying that you may have strength[c] to escape(F) all these things that are going to take place and to stand before the Son of Man.”
