Context of Luke 21:35

33The earth and the heavens will disappear, but my words will never disappear. 34“Make sure that you don’t become drunk, hung over, and worried about life. Then that day could suddenly catch you by surprise like a trap that catches a bird. That day will surprise all people who live on the earth. 36Be alert at all times. Pray so that you have the power to escape everything that is about to happen and to stand in front of the Son of Man.” 37During the day Jesus would teach in the temple courtyard. But at night he would go to the Mount of Olives (as it was called) and spend the night there.
