Matthew 12:16

And charged them that they should not make him known:
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:16 Go To Matthew 12

Hilary of Poitiers

AD 368
He ordered those whom he healed to be silent. Was it silence about the healing that he ordered? Not at all. For the salvation that was given to each one was its own testimony. But by ordering it to be kept secret Jesus also shunned boasting about himself. It was better that knowledge of him remains in himself. So he admonished them to remain silent about him. The observance of silence springs from that about which one must keep silent.
