This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

22. ὁ μὲν οὖν χιλίαρχος ἀπέλυσε τὸν νεανίσκον, so the chief captain let the young man depart. For ἀπολύειν = to dismiss a person, and let him go, Cf. 2Ma 12:25, ἀπέλυσαν αὐτὸν ἕνεκα τῆς τῶν ἀδελφῶν σωρηρίας.

ὅτι ταῦτα ἐνεφάνισας πρὸς ἐμέ, that thou hast shewed these things to me. Here the sentence which began in the oratio obliqua passes into the oratio recta. If the original form of the clause had been continued the close should have been = ‘bidding him tell no one that he had shewed these things to him.’ For a similar change though not so unmanageable to translate cf. Act 1:4.
