Gálatas 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

Galatians 2:3

But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek
There was such an agreement between the apostle, and his fellow apostles at Jerusalem, even about this article of the necessity of circumcision, and other rituals of the law of Moses, to salvation; that Titus, whom he brought along with him, an intimate companion of his in his travels, a fellow labourer with him in the ministry, and now upon the spot, though he was a Gentile, an uncircumcised person, yet even not he

was compelled to be circumcised:
the elders did not urge it, or insist upon it, as proper and necessary; they looked upon it as a thing indifferent, left him to his liberty, and made use of no forcible methods to oblige him to it; yea, were of opinion, as Peter and James in the synod declared, that such a yoke ought not to be put upon the necks of the disciples, and that those who turned to God from among the Gentiles, should not be troubled with these things.

Gálatas 2:3 In-Context

1 Entonces, después de catorce años, subí otra vez a Jerusalén con Bernabé, llevando también a Tito.

2 Subí por causa de una revelación y les presenté el evangelio que predico entre los gentiles, pero lo hice en privado a los que tenían alta reputación, para cerciorarme de que no corría ni había corrido en vano.

3 Pero ni aun Tito, que estaba conmigo, fue obligado a circuncidarse, aunque era griego.

4 Y esto fue por causa de los falsos hermanos introducidos secretamente, que se habían infiltrado para espiar la libertad que tenemos en Cristo Jesús, a fin de someternos a esclavitud,

5 a los cuales ni por un momento cedimos, para no someternos, a fin de que la verdad del evangelio permanezca con vosotros.
