John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 2:1-21

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. (2) It was an impulse from the Spirit which led me to go and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Galatians 2:11-14

(11-14) The next phase in this question was at Antioch. On his coming thither Peter was guilty of a great inconsistency. He began by eating freely with the Gentile converts, but the arrival of a party of the stricter Jews from Jerusalem was enough to make him alter his practice. He gradually withdrew and held aloof, and a number of others, including even Barnabas, followed his example. This conduct of his I openly reproved, asking him why it was that at one moment he himself did not hesitate to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Galatians 2:14

(14) Walked not uprightly.—This is a single word in the Greek, and found here alone in the New Testament. It means, literally, “to walk on straight feet”—i.e., erect and straightforwardly, as opposed to “shuffling.”Unto Peter before them all.—The true reading is again Cephas. The Apostle lays stress upon the publicity of his remonstrance, as showing that in his controversy with the Apostles of the circumcision he did something more than hold his own.Being a Jew.—“Being” is here emphatic, and... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Galatians 2:1-21

By Revelation Galatians 2:2 Paul was fond of the word revelation. 'When it pleased God to reveal His Son in me' I 'went up by revelation'; 'If in anything ye be otherwise minded, God will reveal this also'. It is wonderful to see how this ministry of revelation penetrates the whole area and purpose of life. Sometimes we are startled into its use; we find revelation where we did not expect to find it We are so familiar with some things that we forget them; we speak so fluently that we do not... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:11-18

Chapter 9PAUL AND PETER AT ANTIOCH.Galatians 2:11-18THE conference at Jerusalem issued in the formal recognition by the Primitive Church of Gentile Christianity, and of Paul’s plenary Apostleship. And it brought Paul into brotherly relations with the three great leaders of Jewish Christianity. But this fellowship was not to continue undisturbed. The same cause was still at work which had compelled the Apostle to go up to Jerusalem, taking Titus with him. The leaven of Pharisaic legalism... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Galatians 2:1-21

CHAPTER 2 1. How Jerusalem had Confirmed the Gospel Paul Preached. (Galatians 2:1-10 ) 2. Peter’s Failure; Paul’s Rebuke and Testimony. (Galatians 2:11-21 ) Fourteen years passed by before he ever saw Jerusalem again. What wonderful years of service these years were! The great servant of Christ had preached the divine message in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. The day of Christ will reveal the blessed results of these years. Acts 15:1-41 must be read to see why Paul and Barnabas... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Galatians 2:14

2:14 But when I saw that they walked not {l} uprightly according to the {m} truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why {n} compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?(l) Literally, "with a right foot", which he sets against halting and hypocrisy, which is a backwards state.(m) He calls the truth of the Gospel, both the doctrine itself, and also the use of doctrine, which we call the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 2:1-21

THE JERUSALEM CONFERENCE Not until fourteen years later was there any consultation between Paul and the apostles generally. On this occasion (of which Acts 15:1-41 gives the history) Paul went with Barnabas, but also took Titus, a Greek, with him. He did this for the purpose of making Titus a test case, being determined that the Gentile Titus was not to be compelled to be circumcised, yet to be fully identified with the Jewish disciples of Christ. Here indeed is a firmness of purpose on the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:1-21

PAUL’S DEFENSE OF HIS AUTHORITY Paul defends his authority in five ways. On the grounds of: 1. His Divine call (Galatians 1:1 ) 2. His Divine revelation of the Gospel (Galatians 1:11-12 ) 3. His independence of the other apostles (Galatians 1:15-24 ) 4. His endorsement by the church, (Galatians 2:1-10 ) 5. His rebuke of Peter (Galatians 2:11-14 ) Speaking of his Divine call, some would say that his reference to man-made apostles has an application to the choice of Matthias in Acts 1:0 , though... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Galatians 2:6-15

(6) But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: (7) But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; (8) (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) (9) And when James,... read more
