Matthew 26:1 - 26:13

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg provides an insightful interpretation of Matthew chapter 26, where Jesus states that after two days, it will be Passover. This statement signifies that it would fall on Thursday and that Jesus had celebrated four Passovers during his ministry, helping to determine the length of his ministry to some extent. Additionally, the Sanhedrin leaders, including the chief priests, scribes, and elders, had assembled to plot against Jesus by devising a plan to capture and try him without drawing public attention. Despite their elaborate counter-sign system, Jesus did not announce in advance that he would be having a meal with his disciples.
