Watch Yourselves

34 "But watch yourselves f lest g your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and h cares of this life, and i that day come upon you suddenly j like a trap. 35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 But k stay awake at all times, l praying that you may m have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and n to stand before the Son of Man."

37 And o every day he was teaching in the temple, but p at night he went out and lodged on q the mount called Olivet. 38 And early in the morning o all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.
