In Luke ....................?

Question

Jesus heals a man and says, "Go tell everyone what you have seen here today. Then in the same chapter later he raises a dead girl and says to the family "Don't tell anyone what you have seen. Why in one case he wants everyone to know and on the same day he doesn't want anyone to know. I need help on this, thanks

Answer 1

The text doesn't say for sure, but we know there were certain areas where people were more hostile toward Jesus than in others. Perhaps it was in these areas that he didn't want the word to spread too quickly about his being there and performing miracles, since to do so would have caused a response. Remember, there was one place that he couldn't stay because of the hostility that broke out against him.

Answer 2

From my own thinking I would say that Jesus knew the ways and thoughts of the different areas of the country that He was in. In the area of believers He knew that the healed would be accepted, His name glorified. Sending a healed person to an area of non-believers could of caused great fear! The healed person would of been ridiculed, thought to be possessed. They may have locked them up never to be seen again.
However sending a healed person into non-believers without proclaiming they were healed in the name of Jesus would of brought about questions? How could this happen? It could be the stepping stone for non-believers to learn and know of the name of Jesus simply by questioning the results.

Answer 3

Jesus ambition was for the gospel to
reach all nations of the world.
However,he was humble and never
wanted to lift himself up until that day
when His father will lift him up.

Luke 17:11-19:
11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.

15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."



Luke 8:40-56:
40Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,[d] but no one could heal her. 44She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45"Who touched me?" Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you."

46But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me."

47Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace."

49While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," he said. "Don't bother the teacher any more."

50Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed."

51When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child's father and mother. 52Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. "Stop wailing," Jesus said. "She is not dead but asleep."

53They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54But he took her by the hand and said, "My child, get up!" 55Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.



The difference between these two events is that the lepers could not enter into general society and were not only contagious but ceremonially unclean in Jewish culture--and as they were ceremonially unclean, they could not participate in the aspects of their society and faith that would demand ceremonial purity. So Jesus had the lepers go to the priests to show that they had been healed so that the priests could also declare the lepers ceremonially clean and able to take part in Jewish society.

The instance with Jairus' daughter was different. The reason Jesus told people not to tell others about what He had done was because people were seeing Him perform miracles and were wanting Him to offer signs and wonders just for the sake of doing so, not for any redemptive purpose. (Matthew 12:38-42; Matthew 16:1-4) People saw Jesus' miracles and intended to make him an earthly king rather than a heavenly king (John 6:1-15) because they were seeing His miracles, but Jesus did not allow that to happen--the point wasn't the miracles, but God's provision. The reason Jesus didn't want word about Jairus' daughter to spread was so that more people wouldn't come looking for miracles just to see a good show.
