Context of Matthew 26:19

17On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?” 18“As you go into the city,” he told them, “you will see a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with my disciples at your house.’” So the disciples did as Jesus told them and prepared the Passover meal there. 20When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table with the Twelve. 21While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.”
