NASB
"and warned them not to tell who He was."
— Matthew 12:16, NASB
“And charged them that they should not make him known:”
“and charged them that they should not make him known: ”
“and commanded them that they should not make him known:”
“But he sternly warned them not to make him known.”
“And he charged them that they should not make him known.”
“Ordering them not to give people word of him:”
“And charged them that they should not make him known:”
Then He *said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.
But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all,
and warned them not to tell who He was.
This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
"BEHOLD, MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN; MY BELOVED IN WHOM MY SOUL is WELL-PLEASED; I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL PROCLAIM JUSTICE TO THE GENTILES.
"HE WILL NOT QUARREL, NOR CRY OUT; NOR WILL ANYONE HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS.
