Why did Jesus hesitate to state clearly who He was-and in some cases says, "Who do you say I am? [Mark 8:27-29, Luke 9:18-20, Matthew 16:13-16, John 6:15, I Corinthians 2:8].
Why did Jesus so say not to tell anyone about Him or His works? What were the disciples preaching since Jesus hadn't been resurrected yet? [Mark 8:27-30, Matthew 11:1]
