Contextual Overview

18 And as he was praying in private with his disciples, he asked them, and said: Who, do the multitudes say of me, that I am? 19 They answer and say to him: John the Baptizer; others, Elijah and others, a prophet, one of the ancient prophets arisen. 20 He said to them: But who, do ye say, that I am? Simon answered, and said: The Messiah of God. 21 And he chided them, and charged them, that they should say this to no one. 22 And he said to them: The Son of man is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the Elders and the chief priests and Scribes; and they will kill him; and on the third day, he will arise. 23 And he said before all the people: He that would follow me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and [fn] come after me. 24 For he that will preserve his life, shall lose it; but he that shall lose his life, for my sake, will preserve it. 25 For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life or be deprived [fn] ? 26 And whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels. 27 I tell you the truth, that there are some standing here, who will not taste death, until they shall 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: :-.
