Context of Matthew 26:18
16So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus. 17On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’” 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. 20When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

Commentaries on Matthew 26:18
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18Go - to such a man - It is probable that this means some person with whom Christ was well acquainted, and who was known to the disciples.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-25Verses 17-25 Observe, the place for their eating the passover was pointed out by Christ to the disciples.

Those who would have Christ's presence in the gospel passover, must do what he says. It well becomes the disciples of Christ always to be jealous over themselves, especially in trying times.
