Contextual Overview

¹⁸ And it came about that when he was in prayer, by himself, and the disciples were with him, he put a question to them, saying, Who do the people say I am? ¹⁹ And they, answering, said, John the Baptist; but others say Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has come back. ²⁰ And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God. ²¹ But he gave them special orders, not to say this to any man; ²² Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life. ²³ And he said to them all, If any man has a desire to come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross every day, and come after me. ²⁴ For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it. ²⁵ For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself? ²⁶ For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. ²⁷ But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he strictly charged them, and commanded them,.... Though he highly approved of this their confession, and pronounced Peter blessed upon it; and signified that it was a discovery which flesh and blood could not make, but what was made to him his Father: yet he gave them a strict charge, and laid his commands on them,

to tell no man that thing; that he was the Messiah, and the eternal Son of God, and the true God, as well as the son of man, and really man: the reasons for this: :-.
