SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:12

Mas �l les re�ía mucho que no lo manifestasen.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. And he straitly charged them , etc..] Or vehemently rebuked them, as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it; or threatened them much and vehemently, as the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic. The Persic version renders it, �threatened many�; both the devils that confessed him, and the many that were healed of their diseases: he gave them a strict and severe charge, that they should not make him known ; or �his work�, as the Arabic, his miracles: he sought not vain glory and popular applause, nor did he need the testimony of men or devils; and especially did not choose the latter, lest his enemies should traduce him, as having familiarity with them, as they did.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-12 - All our sicknesses and calamities spring from the anger of God agains our sins. Their removal, or the making them blessings to us, wa purchased to us by the blood of Christ. But the plagues and diseases of our souls, of our hearts, are chiefly to be dreaded; and He can hea them also by a word. May more and more press to Christ to be healed of these plagues, and to be delivered from the enemies of their souls.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

12. He charged (epetima). The word is commonly rendered rebuke in the New Testament. In classical Greek its predominant sense is that of severe, strenuous reproach for unworthy deeds or acts. It is several times used in the New Testament, as here, in the sense of charge. In this sense the word carries, at bottom, a suggestion of a charge under penalty (timh).

That (ina). According to the A.V. and Rev. the that indicates the substance of Christ's charge. Properly, however, it indicates the intent of his charge. He charged them in order that they should not make him known.
