Galatians 2:10-12
New English Translation
10 They requested[a] only that we remember the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.
Paul Rebukes Peter
11 But when Cephas[b] came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he had clearly done wrong.[c] 12 Until[d] certain people came from James, he had been eating with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he stopped doing this[e] and separated himself[f] because he was afraid of those who were pro-circumcision.[g]

- Galatians 2:10 tn Grk “only that we remember the poor”; the words “They requested” have been supplied from the context to make a complete English sentence.
- Galatians 2:11 sn Cephas. This individual is generally identified with the Apostle Peter (L&N 93.211). Both the Aramaic name “Cephas” and the Greek name “Peter” are related to words in each language which mean “rock.”
- Galatians 2:11 tn Grk “because he stood condemned.”
- Galatians 2:12 tn The conjunction γάρ has not been translated here.
- Galatians 2:12 tn Grk “he drew back.” If ἑαυτόν (heauton) goes with both ὑπέστελλεν (hupestellen) and ἀφώριζεν (aphōrizen) rather than only the latter, the meaning would be “he drew himself back” (see BDAG 1041 s.v. ὑποστέλλω 1.a).
- Galatians 2:12 tn Or “and held himself aloof.”
- Galatians 2:12 tn Grk “the [ones] of the circumcision,” that is, the group of Jewish Christians who insisted on circumcision of Gentiles before they could become Christians.
