Galatians 2:12 Context
10Onely they would that wee should remember the poore, the same which I also was forward to doe. 11But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12For before that certaine came from Iames, he did eate with the Gentiles: but when they were come, hee withdrew, and separated himselfe, fearing them which were of the Circumcisiō. 13And the other Iewes dissembled likewise with him, insomuch that Barnabas also was caried away with their dissimulation. 14But when I saw that they walked not vprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said vnto Peter before them al, If thou, being a Iew, liuest after the maner of Gentiles, and not as doe the Iewes, why compellest thou the Gentiles to liue as do the Iewes?
