“And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.”
Jesus sent him home, saying, don't even go into the village — the Messianic Secret command is attached to the complete healing: don't go into the village, which means don't publicize the healing. The instruction is not explained but follows the established pattern. The route home without going into the village ensures the healing does not become the basis for premature public proclamation.
