Matthew 16:22

Context
16:22 So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him: 1  “God forbid, 2  Lord! This must not happen to you!”

1 tn Grk “began to rebuke him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

2 tn Grk “Merciful to you.” A highly elliptical expression: “May God be merciful to you in sparing you from having to undergo [some experience]” (L&N 88.78). A contemporary English equivalent is “God forbid!”
