We see an instance of that in Mark 1:40-45 where Jesus cured a leper. Right after Jesus cured this man, He says in verse 44, "See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."
Do you see what He is doing?
He is saying don't tell anybody. Go directly to priest and say I want you to put me through the procedures that Moses gave so that I can go back into society. I am a leper, and I am cleansed!
But you see, if the priest were to take him, and check him out, and say okay, make your sacrifice, and then set him aside for a week and keep him checked out, as soon as the priest were to say you are clean and you are able to go back into society, that priest is verifying the ministry of Christ.
And Jesus didn't want anybody to hear about it. He didn't want word to get around that He did it.
Verse 45 tells us that this man went out and told everyone. Now you have a huge crowd of people who are coming to see more miracles.
But you see, the Lord didn't want an excitable crowd following Him. He didn't want people coming to Him for the wrong reasons, the wrong motives.
Now the whole town is packed, and He goes out in the wilderness. If you want to receive from Jesus, now you have to go out in the wilderness, not in the city.

The reason was Prophesy. The timing had to be perfect.
There is some charts on GOOGLE: one is Old Testament Prophesies fulfilled by the life of Jesus Christ. 459
Another chart is prophesy that was fulfilled perfectly I might add, in Jesus Ministry on earth.
On the day of his crucifixion, over 100 prophesies were fulfilled.
It has the reference to the event and the scripture that it was fulfilling. You can look it up in your Bible.
Go take a look at those charts. I may have done a cartwheel if my body could bend lol
