The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 2:1-21

The chapter falls into two sections. Of these, viewed in their leading purport, the first ( Acts 15:1-10 ) exhibits the recognition formally accorded to St. Paul's gospel and work by the highest authorities of the Church of the circumcision; the second ( Acts 15:11-21 ) displays in a very stalking light the independence and co-ordinateness of his position when standing face to face with the very chiefest of the apostles. But while these seem to be their leading objects, we find the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 2:6

But of these who seemed to be somewhat ( ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν δοκούντων εἶναί τι ); now from those who were reputed to be somewhat. The conjunction δὲ does not seem to be adversative here, but simply introductory of a new particular. The writer is about to introduce, which he does in the next five verses (6-10), a fresh illustration of the independent position, which in point both of doctrine and of ministerial footing he held in relation to the first apostles and to the heads of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 2:6-9

The apostle takes counsel with the other apostles on perfectly equal terms. He is still asserting his apostolic independence. I. HIS REBUKE OF THOSE WHO LEANED UPON AUTHORITY . "Those high in reputation; whatsoever they were, it maketh no difference to me: God respecteth no man's person." The apostle does not mean to disparage either the reputation or the authority of the other apostles. It was not his interest to do so, because it was important for him to show that he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 2:7

But contrariwise ( ἀλλὰ τοὐναντίον )l as 2 Corinthians 2:7 ; 1 Peter 3:9 . This " contrariwise " is illustrated by the foregoing note. When they saw ( ἰδόντες ); when they got to see. This implies that the fact was new to them. A few of them, no doubt, were apprised of it previously, Cephas in particular (see Galatians 1:18 and note); but the majority of that assemblage of apostles and elders knew Paul chiefly by hearsay, and hearsay not always the most friendly to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 2:7

Diversities of administrations. I. THE GOSPEL IS OFFERED TO MEN IS ALL CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE . It is for men of every race, practising all varieties of social habits, living in different stages of civilization, holding the utmost diversities of creed, viewing the gospel itself from many distinct standpoints. None are so privileged as not to need it—the circumcised want it. None are so neglected as to be excluded from it—the uncircumcised have it preached to them. In... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 2:6

But of those who seemed to be somewhat - See Galatians 2:2. This undoubtedly refers to those who were the most eminent among the apostles at Jerusalem. There is an apparent harshness in our common translation which is unnecessary. The word used here (δοκούντων dokountōn) denotes those who were thought to be, or who were of reputation; that is, men who were of note and influence among the apostles. The object of referring to them here is, to show that he had the concurrence and approbation of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 2:7

The gospel of the uncircumcision - The duty of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised part of the world; that is, to the Gentiles Paul had received this as his unique office when he was converted and called to the ministry (see Acts 9:15; Acts 22:21); and they now perceived that he had been specially intrusted with this office, from the remarkable success which had attended his labors. It is evidently not meant here that Paul was to preach only to the Gentiles and Peter only to the Jews, for... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 2:6-8

Galatians 2:6-8. But of those who seemed to be somewhat Who were most esteemed among the apostles; whatsoever they were How eminent soever; it maketh no matter No difference; to me So that I should alter either my doctrine or my practice. God accepteth no man’s person For any eminence in gifts or outward prerogatives: he does not show favour to any man on account of his birth, office, riches, or any external circumstance, Job 34:19. The apostle’s meaning is, that God did not prefer... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:1-10

Jerusalem supports Paul’s gospel (2:1-10)Fourteen years after his conversion (i.e. eleven years after the visit mentioned in 1:18), Paul went to Jerusalem again, this time with Barnabas and Titus (2:1; see Acts 11:27-30). He did not go to seek the apostles’ approval, for he had no doubts about the truth and authority of the gospel he preached. Rather he met the apostles as one of equal standing with them, and explained to them his work among the Gentiles. He wanted complete understanding with... read more
