Context of Matthew 26:17

15He asked, “What will you pay me if I hand him over to you?” They offered him 30 silver coins. 16From then on, he looked for a chance to betray Jesus. On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples went to Jesus. They asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?” 18He said, “Go to a certain man in the city, and tell him that the teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’ ” 19The disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
