Robertson's Word Pictures of the NT

Matthew 26:2

Cometh

(γινετα). 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

(μετα δυο ημερας) is just the familiar popular mode of speech. The passover came technically on the second day from this time.Is delivered up

(παραδιδοτα). Another instance of the futuristic present passive indicative. The same form occurs in verse Matthew 26:24. Thus Jesus sets a definite date for the coming crucifixion which he has been predicting for six months.
