This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gal 2:11. Ὅτε, when) The argument at last reaches its highest point. Paul reproves Peter himself, therefore he owes not his doctrine to man.-Ἀντιόχειαν, Antioch) at that time the citadel of the Gentile Church.-κατὰ πρόσωπον, to the face) comp. Gal 2:14, before all; so the LXX., 1Ki 1:23, twice; 1Ch 28:8; Psa 50:21; Dan 11:16, etc. Below, κατὰ, Gal 3:1.-ἀντέστην, I withstood [resisted]) A stern word.-κατεγνωσμένος) κατακεκριμένος, condemned, on account of contrary actions, of which the one condemned the other; see the following verse; comp. Gal 2:18. The participle has a reciprocal meaning. For Peter had condemned himself by his own judgment, by his own practice.
