Context of Luke 21:35
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. 34“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. 36But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” 37Now during the day He was teaching in the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet.
