Comments on: Why did Jesus tell some people he healed to talk about it and others to be silent? http://BibleQ.info/answer/2148/ Bible Questions Answered Thu, 17 May 2012 10:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jon Fry http://BibleQ.info/answer/2148/comment-page-1/#comment-692 Jon Fry Mon, 20 Sep 2010 05:36:30 +0000 http://BibleQ.info/?p=2148#comment-692 Many thanks for your contribution. The humility of the Lord Jesus Christ is shown as he gives God the glory for the great healing that was accomplished with Legion (Luke 8:39). Perhaps Legion told people how much Jesus had done for him, as Jesus was the person who had physically intervened in his troubled life? It is still possible that Legion ascribed Christ's power to God. Luke 8:28 shows that Legion understood that Jesus was the Son of God. As Christ left the region swiftly after the healing (Luke 8:37) we don't know if he heard about the content of Legion's preaching or if it had an impact on his encounter with Jairus.

In verse 39, Jesus instructs Legion to show how great things GOD had done for him, but in verse 40, Legion goes and tells of what JESUS did for him. This gives credit to Jesus for the miracle, rather than giving glory to God. Perhaps this is why Jesus instructed Jairus to keep quiet.
