Exegesis
The periphrastic construction ērxato {ἤρξατο | ḗr-xa-to} plus the present infinitive epitiman {ἐπιτιμᾶν | e-pi-ti-mân} conveys “began to rebuke,” emphasizing the onset of Peter’s protest.
In context — Matthew 16:22
And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord ; this shall never happen to You.”
