Galatians 2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. This is hypocrisy — not simply for a man to deceive others, knowing all the while that he is deceiving them, but to deceive himself and others at the same time; to aim at their praise by a religious profession, without perceiving that he loves their praise more than the praise of God. (J. H. Newman, D. D.)The hypocrite sets his watch not by the sun, i.e., the Bible, but by the town clock; what most do he will do. (Gurnall.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. |
