Gálatas 2:10 NVI

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 2:10

Only they would that we should remember the poor - That is, as I suppose, the poor Christians in Judea. It can hardly be supposed that it would be necessary to make this an express stipulation in regard to the converts from among the Gentiles, and it would not have been very pertinent to the case before them to have done so. The object was, to bind together the Christians from among the pagan and from among the Jews, and to prevent alienation and unkind feeling. It might have been alleged that... 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

Only they would that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.Paul mentioned this as a practical matter and with a view to alerting the Galatian churches that they might expect him to raise money from them to be distributed among the poor, as soon as he should have the opportunity. On Paul's final visit to Jerusalem, he delivered such a contribution to James and the elders in Jerusalem (Acts 21:17).THE CONFRONTATION WITH PETERThe next eleven verses (Galatians... read more

I . . . was forward—or "zealous" (Acts 24:17; Romans 15:25; 1 Corinthians 16:1; 2 Corinthians 8:1-9). Paul was zealous for good works, while denying justification by them. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 2:1-10

B. Interdependence with other apostles 2:1-10Paul related other events of his previous ministry, specifically his meeting with the Jerusalem church leaders. He did so to establish for his readers that although he was not dependent on anyone but God for his message and ministry, he preached the same gospel the other apostles did."While chapter 2 continues Paul’s defense of his apostolic authority and the gospel he preached, he focused not on the source of his message but on its content." [Note:... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 2:10

The only point James, Peter, and John made was that Paul should not neglect the poor in his ministry. Paul had already made a commitment to do this. This could be a shorthand reference to the poor saints in Jerusalem. [Note: Ibid., p. 165; Fung, p. 102.] Or it could simply be a reference to the poor in general."Thus the events of Paul’s second post-conversion visit to Jerusalem, like the events of his life both before and after his call by God, substantiate his claim that he received both his... read more

His Authority recognised by the Apostles at Jerusalem and maintained in his Conflict with St. Peter1-10. It was not until upon the occasion of a subsequent visit to Jerusalem fourteen years later that St. Paul had laid his gospel before the chief authorities there, and they had approved of all that he had done and taught.Paraphrase. ’(1) It was fourteen years before I again visited Jerusalem, in company with Barnabas and Titus.
