Context of Matthew 26:18

16From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. 17On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate 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 at the table with the Twelve.

• 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.
