Thus, the reason likely was that Jesus did not yet want it announced that He was the Messiah. He wanted the people to see His life, teaching, and miracles and have time to decide for themselves.
Hivyo, sababu yenye uwezekano mkubwa ni kuwa Yesu hakupenda kuwa itangazwe wakati ule kuwa alikuwa Masihi. Alitaka watu wayaone maisha, mafundisho, na miujiza vyake na wapate fursa ya kuamua wao wenyewe.
