Matthew 26:1-2

1: Jesus completed the Olivet Discourse and turned to the prediction of events sooner in God’s timetable.
2: According to Jesus, it was at that time two days until the passover. This places the statement he makes on Wednesday, April 1st, A.D. 33, the 12th of Nisan in the Hebrew Calendar. This was well known to the disciples. He then tells them that he, the Son of man, would be betrayed to be crucified. The implication was that this would occur during the following two days. And, indeed it did. In other words, Jesus predicted his betrayal by Judas before Judas or the Jewish leaders had as of yet made their plans.
