The secrecy theme, that is different from the Messianic secrecy (the latter is found only in Mark), is a marcionite theme, according to prof Vinzent:
My point is that it is broader than that. As I point out, it can be found in many places, not just Mark and not just Marcion. IMO, Vision of Isaiah best explains the secrecy. Everyone else comments on the secrecy, but doesn't really explain it. VoI explains why the identity of Christ was secret.
