Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Galatians 2:8

_ _ he — God (1 Corinthians 12:6).

_ _ wrought effectually — that is, made the preached word efficacious to conversion, not only by sensible miracles, but by the secret mighty power of the Holy Ghost.

_ _ in Peter — Ellicott and others, translate, “For Peter.” Grotius translates as English Version.

_ _ to — with a view to.

_ _ was mighty — Translate as before, the Greek being the same, “wrought effectually.”

_ _ in me — “for (or ‘in’) me also.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 2:1-10.
