From BibleWiki
36: αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν ταυτα παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
36: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and
to stand before the Son of man.
36: Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to
stand before the Son of man.
To stand before the Son of man. These approaching calamities are
represented as the coming of the Son of man to judge Jerusalem for its
crimes. Its inhabitants were so wicked that they were not worthy to stand
before him and would be condemned, and the city would be overthrown. To
stand before him here denotes approbation, acquittal, favour, and is
equivalent to saying that they would be free from these calamities,
while they should come upon others. Rom 14:4 Ps 15, Ps 1303
Rev 6:17.
Perhaps, also, there is a reference here to the day of judgment. See "Mt 24:1, and following.
"to stand" Ps 15 * {k} "before the Son of man" Jude 1:24
