Matius 2:12

2:12 After being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, ¹  they went back by another route to their own country.

Matius 16:22

16:22 So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him: ²  “God forbid, ³  Lord! This must not happen to you!”

Matius 23:21

23:21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and the one who dwells in it.

[2:12]  ¹ sn See the note on King Herod in 2:1.

[16:22]  ² tn Grk “began to rebuke him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[16:22]  ³ 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!”
