Context of Luke 21:35
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. 34But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth. 36So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.” 37Every day Jesus taught at the temple, but every evening He went out to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.
