Context — Paul Confronts Cephas

11When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.

13The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.

14When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?” 15We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”

Galatians 2:13 Summary

This verse talks about how some of the Jewish believers, including Cephas and Barnabas, were acting hypocritically by separating themselves from the Gentile believers, even though they had previously eaten and fellowshipped with them (Galatians 2:11-12). This shows that even well-meaning people can be influenced by the actions of those around them and act in ways that are not genuine or sincere. As believers, we need to be careful not to compromise our values or faith to fit in with others, and instead, strive to live a life of integrity and authenticity, as taught in Romans 12:9 and 2 Corinthians 1:12. By doing so, we can be a positive influence on those around us and point them to the love and truth of God.

Gill's Exposition on Galatians 2:13

And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him,.... Not the men that came from James, for they never acted otherwise, and therefore could not be said to dissemble; but the Jews that were members of

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Galatians 2:13

And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. The other , [ hoi (G3588) loipoi (G3062)] - 'the rest.' Jews - Jewish Christians.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Galatians 2:13

The fact was the worse, because those Christians which were of the church of Antioch, having been native Jews, followed his example, and made a separate party with him. Nay, Barnabas, my fellow labourer, who was joined with me in bringing the decrees of the council in the case, was carried away with their dissimulation. So dangerous and exemplary are the warpings and miscarriages of those that are eminent teachers.

Ellicott's Commentary on 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 led to the definite separation of the two Apostles would seem to be traceable here.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Galatians 2:13

Verse 13. And the other Jews dissembled likewise] That is: Those who were converted to Christianity from among the Jews, and who had also been convinced that the obligation of the Jewish ritual had ceased, seeing Peter act this part, and also fearing them that were of the circumcision, they separated themselves from the converted Gentiles, and acted so as to convince the Jews that they still believed the law to be of moral obligation; and so powerful was the torrent of such an example, that the gentle, loving-hearted Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation, αυτωντηυποκρισει, with their hypocrisy-feigning to be what they really were not.

Cambridge Bible on Galatians 2:13

13. dissembled likewise with him] Lit. practised like hypocrisy. They believed and professed that they might eat with the Gentiles, they acted as if it were unlawful to do so.Barnabas also] or, ‘even Barnabas’, who as Paul’s companion was familiar with his clear and unreserved teaching on the great doctrine of justification by faith—even he was swept away with the rising tide of dissimulation. This may have been the commencement of the dissension which took place so soon after between Paul and Barnabas, resulting in their separation (Acts 15:39).

Barnes' Notes on Galatians 2:13

And the other Jews - That is, those who had been converted to Christianity. It is probable that they were induced to do it by the example of Peter, as they would naturally regard him as a leader.

Whedon's Commentary on Galatians 2:13

13. Other Jews—All the converted Jews at Antioch. The whole Judaic Church! Barnabas also was carried away—The apostle’s fellow-leader in building up this fortress of freedom!
