Exegesis
The prohibition mē ptoēthēte {μὴ πτοηθῆτε | mḕ pto-ē-thê-te} ‘do not be terrified’ directly answers the threat of fear and functions as a guard against panic at the moment of hearing.
In context — Luke 21:9
But whenever you hear of wars and unrest , do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end will not be immediate.
