Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 2:14

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly - To walk, in the Scriptures, is usually expressive of conduct or deportment; and the idea here is, that their conduct in this case was not honest.According to the truth of the gospel - According to the true spirit and design of the gospel. That requires perfect honesty and integrity; and as that was the rule by which Paul regulated his life, and by which he felt that all ought to regulate their conduct, he felt himself called on openly to reprove... read more

When I saw that, in this matter, they walked not uprightly Ουκ ορθοποδουσι , did not walk with a straight step, or in a plain and straight path; according to the truth of the gospel That is, according to their own knowledge of the simplicity of the true gospel doctrine; I said to Peter, before them all That is, in the hearing of Barnabas and all the Judaizers: see Paul single against Peter and all the Jews!

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:11-21

Saved by faith alone (2:11-21)Being assured of the fellowship of the Jerusalem leaders, Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch (see Acts 12:25). From there they set out on their first missionary journey (see Acts 13:1-3). On returning to Antioch at the end of the journey, they came into conflict with a group of Judaisers who had come from Jerusalem. These men claimed to have the authority of James, and taught that Christians should keep the Jewish laws concerning food, circumcision and other... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 2:14

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?I said unto Cephas ... before them all ... This bold rebuke administered by Paul to Peter may not be taken as a relaxation of Jesus' rule that the brother having sinned should first be approached privately (see my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 2:14

Galatians 2:14. According to the truth of the gospel,— That is, "That freedom from the law of Moses, which was a part of the true doctrine of the gospel." In this sense he uses the word truth throughout the epistle; insisting on it, that this doctrine of freedom from the law of Moses was a part of the true gospel. Had this been matter only of private offence, certainly St. Paul would have known that duty required him to expostulate with St. Peter privately upon it, before he referred it to such... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 2:14

Why did Paul not follow the procedure for dealing with an erring brother that Jesus had specified (Matthew 18:15)? He obviously knew about it (cf. Galatians 6:1). He may have done so before rebuking Peter publicly, but since the offense was public the rebuke also needed to be public. In ministry it is frequently difficult to know whether to follow Matthew 18:15 or 1 Timothy 5:20 in dealing with people who need correction. Normally we should start with a private rebuke (Matthew 18:15) and then,... read more
