Galatians 2:6-14

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Galatians 2:13

(13) The other Jews . . .—i.e. converts from Judaism, as distinct from Gentile converts, in the Church at Antioch.Dissembled.—The “dissimulation,” or “hypocrisy” (the literal sense of the Greek word), consisted in suppressing their real convictions, and acting as if from a set of convictions different from their real ones.Barnabas also.—Rather, even Barnabas, my own familiar friend, and so recently my ally in pleading the cause of the Gentiles. The beginning of the breach which soon afterwards... 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 2:6-10

Chapter 8PAUL AND THE THREE PILLARS.Galatians 2:6-10WE have dealt by anticipation, in chap. 6, with several of the topics raised in this section of the Epistle-touching particularly the import of the phrase "those of repute," and the tone of disparagement in which these dignitaries appear to be spoken of in Galatians 2:6. But there still remains in these verses matter in its weight and difficulty more than sufficient to occupy another chapter.The grammatical connection of the first paragraph,... 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 2:9

2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who {g} seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right {h} hands of fellowship; that we [should go] unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.(g) Whom alone and only these men count for pillars of the Church, and whose name they abuse to deceive you.(h) They gave us their hand to show that we agreed wholly in the doctrine of the Gospel. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Galatians 2:12

2:12 {2} For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.(2) Another most vehement proof of his apostleship, and also of that doctrine which he had delivered concerning free justification by faith alone. And it was for this doctrine alone that he reprehended Peter at Antioch, who offended in this, in that for the sake of a few Jews who came from Jerusalem, he played the... read more
