Peter] RV 'Cephas.' To Antioch] Those who hold that the previous passage (Galatians 2:1) refers to St. Paul's second visit to Jerusalem (Acts 11:29), of course place this visit of Peter to Antioch after St. Paul's return there, i.e. between Acts 12:25 and Acts 13:1. Those who take Galatians 1:1 as referring to the Apostle's third visit (Acts 15), for the most part date this occurrence after the council of Jerusalem, i.e. during the interval mentioned in Acts 15:35 though some hold that St. Paul in this passage is not mentioning a later instance of his independence, but merely another illustration of it which was earlier in time than that mentioned in Galatians 2:1.

Because he was to be blamed] RV 'because he stood condemned,' i.e. by the very inconsistency of his acts.
