Paul Confronts Cephas
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. 13 The 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?”…

The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy
This phrase highlights the influence of Peter's actions on the Jewish believers in Antioch. The Greek word for "hypocrisy" is "hypokrisis," which originally referred to acting or playing a part. In this context, it indicates a discrepancy between belief and behavior. Historically, Jewish Christians struggled with the transition from the Law of Moses to the freedom found in Christ. Peter's withdrawal from Gentile believers, due to pressure from the circumcision group, led others to follow suit, demonstrating the powerful impact of leadership and the importance of aligning actions with the truth of the Gospel.

so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray
Barnabas, known as the "Son of Encouragement," was a respected leader in the early church and a close companion of Paul. His being "led astray" underscores the seriousness of the situation. The Greek word "sunapago," translated as "led astray," suggests being carried away or influenced. This highlights the vulnerability of even strong believers to peer pressure and the importance of steadfastness in the truth. Barnabas's involvement emphasizes the communal nature of faith and the need for accountability within the body of Christ. The historical context of Jewish-Gentile relations in the early church provides a backdrop for understanding the tensions and the necessity of upholding the Gospel's inclusivity.

(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.
