“But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.”
Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses — the Messianic Secret cannot contain the news: the more Jesus commands silence, the more the news spreads. Crowds came to hear and to be healed: the double purpose communicates that the teaching and the healing ministry are inseparable — people come for both.
