But when they came, he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing those of the circumcision group. 13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, 'If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?'
