Why did Jesus tell people not to tell anyone He healed them?
Question: Why did Jesus tell people not to tell anyone He healed them? Mark 7:36, Matthew 8:4, Matthew 9:30, 31, Luke 4:41.
Answer: He did not come here to glorify Himself or become popular. They thought He was going to be king right then (John 6:15), but this wasn’t the case.
He “made Himself of no reputation” (Philippians 2:7). All the times He said, “Don’t tell anyone” were after He healed them physically. He didn’t want to promote the physical healing, but the healing of the soul.
