Galatians 2:11-14

New International Reader's Version

Paul Opposes Peter

¹¹ When Peter came to Antioch, I told him to his face that I was against what he was doing. He was clearly wrong. ¹² He used to eat with the Gentiles. But certain men came from a group sent by James. When they arrived, Peter began to draw back. He separated himself from the Gentiles. That’s because he was afraid of the circumcision group sent by James. ¹³ Peter’s actions were not honest, and other Jews in Antioch joined him. Even Barnabas was led astray.

¹⁴ I saw what they were doing. It was not in line with the truth of the good news. So I spoke to Peter in front of them all. “You are a Jew,” I said. “But you live like one who is not. So why do you force Gentiles to follow Jewish ways?”
