Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Galatians 2:13

Dissembled with him [σ υ ν υ π ε κ ρ ι θ η σ α ν]. N. T. o. Peter's course influenced the other Jewish Christians as Antioch, who had previously followed his example in eating with Gentiles.

Was carried away [σ υ ν α π η χ θ η]. Lit. was carried away with them (sun). In Paul only here and Romans 12:16, on which see note. In LXX once, Exodus 14:6.

With their dissimulation [α υ τ ω ν τ η υ π ο κ ρ ι σ ε ι]. Not to or over to their dissimulation. Paul uses a strong word, which is employed only in 1 Timothy 4:2. The kindred verb uJpokrinesqai to play a part, and the noun uJpokrithv hypocrisy do not occur in his letters. Their act was hypocrisy, because it was a concealment of their own more liberal conviction, and an open profession of still adhering to the narrow Pharisaic view. It was "a practical denial of their better spiritual insight" (Wieseler).
