Origen

  • “Moreover, in the Epistle to the Galatians, Paul states that Peter, still from fear of the Jews, ceased upon the arrival of James to eat with the Gentiles, and “separated himself from them, fearing them that were of the circumcision;” and the rest of the Jews, and Barnabas also, followed the same course.” — editor's note: Cf. Gal. ii. 12.

Irenaeus of Lyons

Augustine of Hippo

Tertullian

  • “No doubt he blames him; but it was solely because of his inconsistency in the matter of “eating,” which he varied according to the sort of persons (whom he associated with) “fearing them which were of the circumcision,” but not on account of any perverse opinion touching another god.” — editor's note: Victus: see Gal. ii. 12; or, living, see ver. 14.

  • “Forasmuch, then, as Peter was rebuked because, after he had lived with the Gentiles, he proceeded to separate himself from their company out of respect for persons, the fault surely was one of conversation, not of preaching.” — editor's note: Vers. 12, 13. See also Anti-Marcion, iv. 3 (Trans. p. 182).
