Galatians 2:9
_ _ James — placed first in the oldest manuscripts, even before Peter, as being bishop of Jerusalem, and so presiding at the council (Acts 15:1-29). He was called “the Just,” from his strict adherence to the law, and so was especially popular among the Jewish party though he did not fall into their extremes; whereas Peter was somewhat estranged from them through his intercourse with the Gentile Christians. To each apostle was assigned the sphere best suited to his temperament: to James, who was tenacious of the law, the Jerusalem Jews; to Peter, who had opened the door to the Gentiles but who was Judaically disposed, the Jews of the dispersion; to Paul, who, by the miraculous and overwhelming suddenness of his conversion, had the whole current of his early Jewish prejudices turned into an utterly opposite direction, the Gentiles. Not separately and individually, but collectively the apostles together represented Christ, the One Head, in the apostleship. The twelve foundation-stones of various colors are joined together to the one great foundation-stone on which they rest (1 Corinthians 3:11; Revelation 21:14, Revelation 21:19, Revelation 21:20). John had got an intimation in Jesus’ lifetime of the admission of the Gentiles (John 12:20-24).
_ _ seemed — that is, were reputed to be (see on Galatians 2:2 and see on Galatians 2:6) pillars, that is, weighty supporters of the Church (compare Proverbs 9:1; Revelation 3:12).
_ _ perceived the grace ... given unto me — (2 Peter 3:15).
_ _ gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship — recognizing me as a colleague in the apostleship, and that the Gospel I preached by special revelation to the Gentiles was the same as theirs. Compare the phrase, Lamentations 5:6; Ezekiel 17:18.
_ _ heathen — the Gentiles. |
Galatians 2:9
And when James — Probably named first because he was bishop of the church in Jerusalem. And Cephas — Speaking of him at Jerusalem he calls him by his Hebrew name. And John — Hence it appears that he also was at the council, though he is not particularly named in the Acts. Who undoubtedly were pillars — The principal supporters and defenders of the gospel. Knew — After they had heard the account I gave them. The grace — Of apostleship. Which was given me, they — In the name of all. Gave to me and Barnabas — My fellow — labourer. The right hands of fellowship — They gave us their hands in token of receiving us as their fellow — labourers, mutually agreeing that we — I and those in union with me. Should go to the gentiles — Chiefly. And they — With those that were in union with them, chiefly to the circumcision — The Jews. |
Galatians 2:9
And when James, Cephas, and John, who (g) seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right (h) hands of fellowship; that we [should go] unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
(g) Whom alone and only these men count for pillars of the Church, and whose name they abuse to deceive you.
(h) They gave us their hand to show that we agreed wholly in the doctrine of the Gospel. |

That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

Revelation 21:14-20 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ... The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

1 Peter 4:10-11 As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. ... If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.
