Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 16:20

_ _ Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ — Now that He had been so explicit, they might naturally think the time come for giving it out openly; but here they are told it had not.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Matthew 16:13-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Matthew 16:20

Then charged he his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ — Jesus himself had not said it expressly even to his apostles, but left them tb infer it from his doctrine and miracles. Neither was it proper the apostles should say this openly, before that grand proof of it, his resurrection. If they had, they who believed them would the more earnestly have sought to take and make him a king: and they who did not believe them would the snore vehemently have rejected and opposed such a Messiah.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Matthew 16:20

(7) Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

(7) Men must first learn, and then teach.
