<p>2:13- see on Mt. 23:28.</p><p><i>And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy</i>- Peter uses the same word in warning his flock against hypocrisy (1 Pet. 2:1); knowing full well that he had publicly rebuked for being a hypocrite. In this we see the humility which made him a true elder, appealing to others not to make the same mistakes he had made.</p><p>Paul withstood the pressures of the &lsquo;circumcision party&rsquo; within the early church, and rebuked Peter for caving in to them (Gal. 2:12,13). But then he himself caved in under pressure from the same group, and obeyed their suggestion that he show himself to be not opposed to the keeping of the Mosaic Law by paying the expenses for the sacrifices of four brethren.</p>
