John Gill Commentary Luke 21:36

"But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." — Luke 21:36 (ASV)

Watch you therefore, and pray always Watch against every sin, snare, and temptation; particularly, against the above things, surfeiting, drunkenness, and worldly cares; pray continually, for fresh supplies of grace:

that you may be counted worthy ; not for watchfulness and prayer, but through the grace and goodness of God:

to escape all these things that shall come to pass ; the dreadful miseries and distress, that shall come upon the Jews:

and to stand before the Son of man ; with intrepidity, confidence, and pleasure; and meet him at his coming in this way, with joy and comfort; and likewise at death, and at judgment; see (1 John 2:28) .
