About the passage
Galatians 2: Fellowship is tested at the table
The Book of Galatians makes fellowship visible before testing it in public. Titus, a Greek, is not compelled to be circumcised when Paul lays his Gentile mission before the recognized Jerusalem leaders. James, Cephas, and John perceive the grace given to Paul and Barnabas, extend fellowship, and ask only that the poor be remembered. Yet the agreement is soon strained at an ordinary table. Peter had eaten with Gentiles, then withdraws when certain people arrive, and others follow him until even Barnabas is carried away. Paul treats that separation as more than bad manners because it pressures Gentiles to live as Jews. His response moves directly into justification: Jewish believers themselves have trusted Christ rather than works of the law. To rebuild the old boundary would make the believer, not Christ, the transgressor and would empty Christ’s death of its necessity.
