Luke 21:31-38

31In the same way, you will see these strange things happening. Then you will know that God will soon begin to rule in his kingdom.

32I tell you this: The people who are alive now will not all die until all these things happen.

33One day, the earth and the sky will have an end. But my words will be there for ever.

34But be careful, and watch how you live. Do not eat or drink too much. Do not waste your time like that. Do not waste time by having troubles in your mind about your life. If you do, that day will surprise you. It will come when you are not looking.

35It will surprise everyone who lives on all the earth.

36So watch all the time! Continue to pray that you will be strong. Then you will be safe through all these things! You will stand in front of the Son of Man and you will not be afraid.’

37Every day Jesus was teaching people in the temple. Each night he went out of the city and he stayed on the hill that is called the Mount of Olives.

38Each morning he returned to the temple. All the people were going there early in the morning to hear him.
