Luke 9:21

Luke 9:21

19 So they answered and said, ^a“John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” ^aPeter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection

21 ^aAnd He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,

22 saying, ^a“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

23 ^aThen He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross¹ daily, and follow Me.

24 ^aFor whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

To tell this to no man (mhdeni legein touto). Indirect command with the negative infinitive after

commanded (parhggeilen). It had been necessary for Jesus to cease using the word

Messiah (Xristov) about himself because of the political meaning to the Jews. Its use by the disciples would lead to revolution as was plain after the feeding of the five thousand (John 6:15).
