Galatians 2:11-14

Expanded Bible

Paul Shows that Peter Was Wrong

¹¹ [^LBut] When ·Peter [^LCephas; ^CPeter’s name in Aramaic; 1:18] came to Antioch, I challenged him to his face, because he ·was wrong [^Lstood condemned]. ¹² [^LFor; Because] ·Peter [^LHe] ate with the Gentiles until ·some Jewish people [^Lcertain people] sent from James [1:19] came to Antioch [^Ca major city in Syria]. When they arrived, Peter ·stopped eating with those who weren’t Jewish [^Lbacked off; withdrew], and he separated himself from them. […because] He was afraid of the ·Jews [circumcised; or the pro-circumcision group]. ¹³ Then the rest of the ·Jewish believers [^LJews] joined him in this hypocrisy. Even Barnabas was ·influenced [swept along; carried away] by their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ [^LBut] When I saw they were not ·following [acting in line with] the truth of the ·Good News [Gospel], I spoke to ·Peter [^LCephas; v. 11] in front of them all. I said, “You are a Jew, but you are living like a Gentile and not a Jew. So how can you now try to force Gentiles to live like Jews?”
