When Peter, at a later date, visited Antioch, he acted in accordance with the light given him from Heaven, and the decision of the council. He overcame his natural prejudice so far as to sit at table with the Gentile converts. But when certain Jews who were most zealous for the ceremonial law came from Jerusalem, he changed his deportment toward the converts from paganism in so marked a degree that it left a most painful impression upon their minds. Quite a number followed Peter’s example. Even Barnabas was influenced by the injudicious course of the apostle; and a division was threatened in the church. But Paul, who saw the wrong done the church through the double part acted by Peter, openly rebuked him for thus disguising his true sentiments. {LP 71.2}

Da Peter på et senere tidspunkt besøgte Antiokia, handlede han efter det lys der var givet fra Himlen, og rådets beslutning. Han overvandt sin naturlige fordom så vidt som at sidde med de hedenske nyomvendtes borde. Men da visse jøder, som var meget ivrige for ceremoniloven kom fra Jerusalem, ændrede han på sin optræden mod de nyomvendte fra hedenskabet i en så markant grad, at det forlod det mest smertelige indtryk i deres sind. Ganske mange fulgte Peters eksempel. Endog Barnabas blev påvirket af apostlens uoverlagte optræden; og en splittelse truede menigheden. Men Paulus der så det forkerte der skete i menigheden, ved Peters dobbeltrolle, irettesatte ham åbenlyst for at skjule sine egentlige indstilling.
