Context of Matthew 26:18

16From then on, he looked for a chance to betray Jesus. 17On 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?” He 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. 20When evening came, Jesus was at the table with the twelve apostles.

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.
