Summary

In Luke 9:21, Jesus strictly warned His disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah. This instruction was given because the timing of revealing His identity was crucial to His mission on earth. Jesus knew that premature public acknowledgment as the Messiah could lead to misunderstanding and political turmoil. This verse highlights Jesus' wisdom and strategic approach in fulfilling His purpose, demonstrating His divine insight and control over the unfolding events of His ministry.

John Gill Bible Commentary

Saying, the son of man must suffer many things,.... In his person and character, in his soul and body, at the hands of God, and of men, and devils: and be rejected of the elders, and chief priests, and Scribes; who made up the grand sanhedrim of the nation: by these he was to be, and was rejected as the Messiah; and when put up with another which should be released, that other should be preferred, and he rejected; and which was done at the instigation of these men, who were the builders; of whom it was foretold that they should reject the head stone of the corner, Psa 118:22 and be slain; or put to death, with the death of the cross: and be raised the third day; according to the types and prophecies of the Old Testament. This he added for the comfort of his disciples.
