Matthew 26:2
1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,
“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
4 and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
