This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Then Peter took him - aside, apart from the rest; presuming on the distinction just conferred on him; showing how unexpected and distasteful to them all was the announcement.

and began to rebuke him - affectionately, yet with a certain generous indignation, to chide Him.

saying, Be it far from thee: this shall not be unto thee - that is, “If I can help it”: the same spirit that prompted him in the garden to draw the sword in His behalf (Joh 18:10).
