Why did Jesus command people to not tell others of the miracles He performed?
Why did jesus want to keep His miracles a secret?
To put it very simply, Jesus was giving Satan and the forces of evil some "quality" time to get really worked up about him.
If they ever realized that Jesus was truly the Messiah and the only begotten Son of God, they would have never laid a finger on him.
In that event, Jesus would never have died on the cross, Satan would still be firmly in charge of the world, and we would all still be hopelessly enslaved to Satan, sin, and death.
In the end, satan and his minions simply couldn’t help themselves. Their hatred of goodness, their lust for blood, and their lack of respect for humanity became their own undoing.
The moment Jesus died, satan was through!
And Satan never saw it coming until it was too late.

He did not wanted the pharisees to take notice of Him too early since they would try to kill Him before time. His apostles, needed more time to learn Jesus’ teachings before continue to the next level: crucifiction and resurrection.
Jesus had a plan, an agenda for 3 years. Getting arrested in the first year was not part of the plan.
As the time progressed Jesus stoped to command people to shut up.
