Matthew 9:30 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. Straitly charged them - He charged them severely, from ενεβριμησατο, from εν, and βριμαομαι, to roar or storm with anger; he charged them, on pain of his displeasure, not to make it as yet public. See the reasons, Matthew 8:4.
