I love that Jesus makes the demons be quiet and not tell the people who He is. He wants them to work out their faith, and truly believe for themselves. I also wonder if Jesus tells the man healed of leprosy not to talk about it because healing wasn't Jesus' #1 purpose of being on Earth; an access of it would've actually take away from His ministry. While healing some demonstrated God's power residing in Jesus, it would've taken forever to heal everyone and He would never be able to actually give us the good news!
I find this similar to how it is today. We've probably all have asked God for physical healing at some time or another, yet some receive it and some don't. For those who don't, it's because God has a bigger plan in motion, just like He did when Jesus was on Earth. It's hard to accept that when we can't know why God chooses to let us endure some things, but we just have to trust in his never failing goodness.
