How come after Simon Peter recognized JESUS "by the revelation of the Father" in the following:
Matthew 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And then, Jesus Christ told His Disciples not to introduce HIM to the people:
Matthew 16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
WHAT may be reason of our Lord?
Is it not for His glory for many people to know or identify Him?
Matthew 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And then, Jesus Christ told His Disciples not to introduce HIM to the people:
