Matthew:26:2
rwp@Matthew:26:2 @{Cometh} (\ginetai\). Futuristic use of the present middle indicative. This was probably our Tuesday evening (beginning of Jewish Wednesday). The passover began on our Thursday evening (beginning of Jewish Friday). {After two days} (\meta duo hˆmeras\) is just the familiar popular mode of speech. The passover came technically on the second day from this time. {Is delivered up} (\paradidotai\). Another instance of the futuristic present passive indicative. The same form occurs in verse 24|. Thus Jesus sets a definite date for the coming crucifixion which he has been predicting for six months.
