This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He would not that any man should know it (ouk ēthelen hina tis gnoi). Imperfect tense followed by ingressive aorist subjunctive (gnoi ̂ gnōi, the usual form). He was not willing that any one should learn it. Back in Galilee Jesus was, but he was avoiding public work there now (cf. Mar 7:24). He was no longer the hero of Galilee. He had left Caesarea Philippi for Galilee.
