Context of Matthew 20:18

16So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” 17Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, 19and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” 20Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 17-19Verses 17-19 See also Mark 10:32-34; Luke 18:31-34. And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem - That is, doubtless, to the Passover. This journey was from the east side of Jordan. See the notes at Matthew 19:1. At this time he was on this journey to Jerusalem, probably not far from Jericho. This was his last journey to Jerusalem.
