1When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples, “You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” 3At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2After two days is - the feast of the Passover. See the notes at Matthew 12:1-8.
