DON’T TELL ANYONE / MATTHEW 8:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 8:4

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

DON’T TELL ANYONE / MATTHEW 8:4

Jesus may have given this command for several reasons:

  1. He did not want people to focus solely on His miracles.
  2. He did not want the public attention surrounding His miracles to replace the more important message that He was teaching. 
  3. He did not want to raise additional opposition to His ministry (which might lead to His early death) before He had completed His mission.

He did not do miracles simply for public recognition, but rather out of compassion for individuals who were suffering (Matthew 9:30; 12:16; Mark 1:44; 5:43; 7:36; Luke 8:56).
