And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” (Luke 9:21-22 ESV)
Our job as followers of Christ includes telling others all about Him. Yet, on a number of occasions, He pointedly told them to not tell others - yet. Why not? When an answer was given, it was always that His time had not yet come. The elders, scribes and Pharisees were already eager to get rid of Him. But if they knew that His suffering and death would help accomplish what He came to do, would they have assisted Him by demanding for it?
