Galatians 2:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 2:9

7 But on the contrary, ^awhen they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised ^bhad been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter

8 (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the ^acircumcised ^balso ^cworked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),

9 and when James,¹ Cephas, and John, who seemed to be ^apillars, perceived ^bthe grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, ^cthat we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

10 They desired only that we should remember the poor, ^athe very thing which I also was eager to do.

No Return to the Law

11 ^aNow when¹ Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;

12 for before certain men came from James, ^ahe would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing¹ those who were of the circumcision.
