The Greek word used for "strictly warned" implies a stern command, emphasizing the importance of the disciples' obedience. This warning follows Peter's confession of Jesus as the Messiah, a pivotal moment in the Gospel narrative. Jesus often used strong language to ensure His disciples understood the gravity of His teachings and the timing of His mission. This reflects the Messianic secret theme in the Gospels, where Jesus frequently instructed His followers to keep His identity concealed until the appropriate time.<p><b>not to tell this</b><br>The instruction "not to tell this" refers to the revelation of Jesus as the Messiah. At this point in His ministry, Jesus was cautious about public declarations of His identity. The Jewish expectation of the Messiah was largely political and militaristic, anticipating a leader who would overthrow Roman rule. Jesus' mission, however, was spiritual and redemptive, focusing on the salvation of humanity through His death and resurrection. Premature disclosure could have led to misunderstandings and hindered His mission. This aligns with other instances where Jesus instructed people to remain silent about His miracles or identity, such as in <a href="/mark/1-44.htm">Mark 1:44</a> and <a href="/mark/8-30.htm">Mark 8:30</a>.<p><b>to anyone</b><br>The phrase "to anyone" underscores the universality of the command. Jesus wanted to prevent any misinterpretation or premature action that could arise from a widespread proclamation of His Messiahship. This instruction was not limited to a specific group but was meant to be a general directive to ensure that His mission unfolded according to divine timing. The broader context of <a href="/luke/9.htm">Luke 9</a> includes Jesus preparing His disciples for His impending suffering and death, which was contrary to popular Messianic expectations. By controlling the spread of information, Jesus ensured that His path to the cross remained unobstructed, fulfilling prophecies such as <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>, which spoke of the suffering servant.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, Jesus is the Messiah who is instructing His disciples with a specific command.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a></b><br>The immediate audience of Jesus' warning, they are followers of Christ who are being prepared for their future mission.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_event_of_the_warning.htm">The Event of the Warning</a></b><br>This occurs after Peter's confession of Jesus as the Christ, marking a pivotal moment in the disciples' understanding of Jesus' identity.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_divine_timing.htm">The Importance of Divine Timing</a></b><br>Jesus' command to keep His identity secret highlights the importance of God's timing in revealing His plans.

This life he sketched out for them in the severe language of the next verse. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/9-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">[Jesus] strictly warned</span><br /><span class="grk">&#7952;&#960;&#953;&#964;&#953;&#956;&#942;&#963;&#945;&#962;</span> <span class="translit">(epitim&#275;sas)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2008.htm">Strong's 2008: </a> </span><span class="str2">From epi and timao; to tax upon, i.e. Censure or admonish; by implication, forbid.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">them</span><br /><span class="grk">&#945;&#8016;&#964;&#959;&#8150;&#962;</span> <span class="translit">(autois)</span><br /><span class="parse">Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Dative Masculine 3rd Person Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_846.htm">Strong's 846: </a> </span><span class="str2">He, she, it, they, them, same.
