I resisted him to the face (kata prosōpon autōi antestēn). Second aorist active indicative (intransitive) of anthistēmi. “I stood against him face to face.” In Jerusalem Paul faced Peter as his equal in rank and sphere of work. In Antioch he looked him in the eye as his superior in character and courage.
Because he stood condemned (hoti kategnōsmenos ēn). Periphrastic past perfect passive of kataginoskō, old verb to know against, to find fault with. In N.T. only here and 1Jo 3:20.
