Galatians 2:11-14
11 게바가 안디옥에 이르렀을 때에 책망할 일이 있기로 내가 저를 면책하였노라
12 야고보에게서 온 어떤 이들이 이르기 전에 게바가 이방인과 함께 먹다가 저희가 오매 그가 할례자들을 두려워하여 떠나 물러가매
13 남은 유대인들도 저와 같이 외식하므로 바나바도 저희의 외식에 유혹되었느니라
14 그러므로 나는 저희가 복음의 진리를 따라 바로 행하지 아니함을보고 모든 자 앞에서 게바에게 이르되 네가 유대인으로서 이방을 좇고 유대인답게 살지 아니하면서 어찌하여 억지로 이방인을 유대인답게 살게 하려느냐 하였노라 11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?

What was Cephas probably afraid of? This scene reminds me of Cephas when he denied Jesus Christ three times before the rooster crowd, when he was asked if he was affiliated with Jesus. Back then also, Peter was afraid of those surrounding him. Even though these are human weaknesses, we should remember that God still works with and does not give up on us despite the weaknesses that we have. Although we keep falling down and keep failing on Jesus, he still helps us to stand back up again, and I believe that's the miracle of Christ in the lives of all His disciples. Though human nature is fragile, as we rely on the righteousness gained through our faith in Jesus Christ, He deems us to be righteous. Amen!
