Contextual Overview

¹⁸ While he prayed by himself, and his disciples were with him, he asked them and said, What do the people say concerning me that I am? ¹⁹ They answered and said to him, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others that one of the old prophets has risen. ²⁰ He said to them, But you, what do you say that I am? Simon answered and said, The Messiah (the anointed one of God). ²¹ But he cautioned them, and warned them not to say this to anyone. ²² And he said to them, The Son of man must suffer a great many things, and he will be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise. ²³ Then he said in the presence of everyone, He who wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day and follow me. ²⁴ For he who wishes to save his life, shall lose it; but he who loses his life for my sake, he shall save it. ²⁵ For how can a man be benefited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own soul, or even weakens it? ²⁶ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when he comes with the glory of his Father, accompanied by his holy angels. ²⁷ I tell you the truth, that there are men who stand here, who will not taste death, until 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: :-.
