Scripture doesn’t give us many hints about this day prior to the Last Supper. Days beforehand, Jesus rode into Jerusalem, cursed a fig tree, and overturned tables in the temple. But on Wednesday? Near silence … apart from the fact that sometime that week, Judas Iscariot agreed to betray Jesus (Matthew 26).

Most likely, Jesus and his disciples prepared for Passover, which would occur on Friday. The term "Spy" refers to Judas and how he betrayed our Lord to the religious leader in exchange for silver coins.
