Exegesis
The infinitive legein {λέγειν | lé-gein} ‘to say’ functions as a complementary infinitive expressing the content of the command, while the dative negative pronoun mēdeni {μηδενὶ | mē-de-nì} ‘to no one’ specifies the universal scope of the prohibition.
In context — Luke 9:21
But He , having strictly charged them, commanded them to tell no one this.
