The Biblical Illustrator - Galatians 2:5

Galatians 2:5To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour.The truth in the ChurchI. The truth of the gospel is essentially embodied in the doctrinal articles, and the devotional services, of the Church of England. Her basis is the Word of God. There is no one truth contained in the Bible which does not appear interwoven in her services; and, what is of vast importance, those truths are every one of them brought forward throughout her ecclesiastical year with a distinctness, and yet... read more

Galatians 2:6But of those who seemed to be somewhat.Authority and trustI. A man who has truth on his side can be indifferent to mere authority. Because--1. Mere authority has no weight with the Author of truth.2. The man of truth can gain nothing from the sanction of mere authority.II. Authoritative decisions derive what value they possess from the truth. The apostles pronounced on what “they saw.”1. That the gospel of the uncircumcision and the circumcision was committed respectively to Paul... read more

Galatians 2:7-8To the apostleship of the circumcision.The results of the conferenceBarnabas must have been struck with the coincidence between his own conduct towards the newly-enfranchised converts at Antioch (Acts 11:22-23) and that of the apostles towards the delegates of these converts.I. What the apostles saw--1. In Paul and Barnabas personally. The closest scrutiny of speech, deportment, aim, could create but one impression.2. In their work; the conversion of the Gentles and the uprising... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Galatians 2:10

Galatians 2:10That we should remember the poor.A plea for the poorGood men do not always think alike. When they differ, it is commonly from ignorance and a want of mutual explanation; and therefore when their understandings are informed, as their hearts were right before, they are like so many drops of water on a table--when they touch they run into one. Besides, while differing in some things, they agree in others--and these by fro the most important: and after awhile are generally led to see... read more

Galatians 2:11-12I withstood him to the face.Paul and PeterI. Character is growth. The most zealous is not always the most steadfast. Fires slumber within which circumstances may fan into a terrible flame. We bring our evil tendencies with us into the Kingdom of God to be gradually curbed, restrained, overcome by higher and Divine tendencies. Let every man keep sentinel over himself; let him beware of old sins; let him guard his soul by prayer against attacks on his weak points; let him cast... read more

Galatians 2:13And the other Jews dissembled.Barnabas was carried awayIt is not difficult to trace here the characteristic temperament of Barnabas on its weak side. He was just that kind of disposition which makes it easy to become a partisan, to flow on with the general current, to take the complexion of surrounding opinion, and to sanction by acquiescence many things which ought to be resisted. It is not pleasant for a warm-hearted and generous man to tell his neighbours that they are all... read more

Galatians 2:14-15But when I saw that they walked not uprightly.Moral shufflingI. Its nature.1. Literally--not to walk on straight feet, i.e., erect, or straightforwardly.2. Morally.(1) Thinking rightly and acting wrongly.(2) Orthodoxy in creed, heterodoxy in conduct.(3) All compromises when conscience is concerned.II. Its relation to the gospel. It is “not according to its truth.”1. In the letter.2. In the spirit.III. Its motives.1. Aversion to unpleasantness.2. Desire to be agreeable all... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Galatians 2:2

2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. Ver. 2. By revelation ] i.e. By God’s special direction; for he ordereth a good man’s goings, Psalms 37:23 . I communicated unto them ] ανεθεμην , I laid open the matter freely and familiarly, as unto bosom friends. But privately ] For all good men are not fit to be trusted with secrets,... read more
