Mateo 12:16

16 Y él les encargaba rigurosamente que no le descubrieran

Mateo 12:16 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 12:16

And charged them that they should not make him known.
] This charge was given, either to the multitude that followed him, and were healed by him, that when they returned to the respective places from whence they came, they would not make it known to his enemies where he was, and what he had done to them; being neither desirous of popular applause and glory, nor willing to provoke them more, nor to fall into their hands as yet; or else, as Mark seems to intimate, to the unclean spirits, that they would not declare who he was, the Son of God, they confessed him to be: and very likely it was given to both, and that they should neither tell where he was, nor who he was; and this charge was a very severe one; for the word signifies a charge with threatenings, should they not observe his orders.

Mateo 12:16 In-Context

14 Y salidos los fariseos, tuvieron consejo contra él para destruirle

15 Mas sabiéndolo Jesús, se apartó de allí; y le siguieron grandes multitudes, y sanaba a todos

16 Y él les encargaba rigurosamente que no le descubrieran

17 para que se cumpliera lo que estaba dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo

18 He aquí mi siervo, al cual he escogido; mi Amado, en el cual se agrada mi alma; pondré mi Espíritu sobre él y a los gentiles anunciará juicio
