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 Catorze anos depois, subi novamente a Jerusalém, dessa vez com Barnabé, levando também Tito comigo.

2 Fui para lá por causa de uma revelação e expus diante deles o evangelho que prego entre os gentios, fazendo-o, porém, em particular aos que pareciam mais influentes, para não correr ou ter corrido inutilmente.

3 Mas nem mesmo Tito, que estava comigo, foi obrigado a circuncidar-se, apesar de ser grego.

4 Essa questão foi levantada porque alguns falsos irmãos infiltraram-se em nosso meio para espionar a liberdade que temos em Cristo Jesus e nos reduzir à escravidão.

5 Não nos submetemos a eles nem por um instante, para que a verdade do evangelho permanecesse com vocês.
