Galatians 2:13 - Additional Comments

Paul very bluntly called the behavior of Peter hypocrisy. This hypocrisy must have reached far beyond Antioch, since this letter is addressing this issue to the Galatians.
When a leader falls, he brings many with him. Be wary as a leader -- don't get lazy in your obedience and devotion; be strong; be a leader that others should be following.
Barnabas, in Acts 11:22-24, is referred to as "a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith." Even leaders can lose focus and be misled.
The Jerusalem council, on Peter's leading (Acts 15), decided against Judaizers and upheld doctrine of salvation by grace through faith.
