Reference for Chullin 188:28

כולה במקום שאין מכריזין ומציעתא גזירה שמא ימכרנה בפני ישראל

Believing that they had come to meet him he said: 'Why did the Rabbis take this trouble to come so far [to meet me]? ' R'Safra replied: 'We did not know that the Master was coming; had we known of it we should have put ourselves out more than this'.
