Context of Matthew 26:2

1Now it happened that when Yeshua had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, “You know that Passover comes in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be executed.” 3Then the ruling kohanim and elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the kohen gadol named Caiaphas. 4They plotted together in order that they might seize Yeshua by stealth and kill Him.

Commentaries on Matthew 26:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2The passover - A feast instituted in Egypt, to commemorate the destroying angel's passing over the houses of the Israelites, when he slew the firstborn of the Egyptians.

This feast began on the fourteenth day of the first moon, in the first month, Nisan, and it lasted only one day; but it was immediately followed by the days of unleavened bread, which were seven, so…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2After two days is - the feast of the Passover. See the notes at Matthew 12:1-8.
