Exegesis
The demonstrative touto {τοῦτο | toû-to} ‘this’ points anaphorically to the just-confessed identity of Jesus as the Christ, so that the structure as a whole underscores both the sternness and the secrecy of Jesus’ directive at this point in the narrative.
In context — Luke 9:21
But He , having strictly charged them, commanded them to tell no one this.
