Luke 21:36

The Importance of Watching

34 “But ^atake heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with¹ carousing, drunkenness, and ^bcares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.

35 For ^ait will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 ^aWatch therefore, and ^bpray always that you may be counted ^cworthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and ^dto stand before the Son of Man.”

37 ^aAnd in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but ^bat night He went out and stayed on the mountain called Olivet.

38 Then early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Luke 21:35

Luke 21:37 >>

Watch ye therefore - This is the general conclusion of all that precedes. That ye may be counted worthy - This word sometimes signifies an honour conferred on a person, as when the apostles are said to be counted worthy to suffer shame for Christ, Acts 5:41. Sometimes meet or becoming: as when John the Baptist exhorts, to bring fruits worthy of repentance, Luke 3:8. And so to be counted worthy to escape, is to have the honour of it, and to be fitted or prepared for it. To stand - With joy and triumph: not to fall before him as his enemies.
