Gal 2:8 | RWP | e4.org | He that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision ( ο γαρ ενεργησας Πετρω εις αποστολην της περιτομης ). Paul here definitely recognizes Peter's leadership (apostleship, αποστολην , late word, already in ; ) to the Jews and asserts that Peter acknowledges his apostleship to the Gentiles. This is a complete answer to the Judaizers who denied the genuineness of Paul's apostleship because he was not one of the twelve.

‏ Galatians 2:8

He that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision ( ο γαρ ενεργησας Πετρω εις αποστολην της περιτομης ). Paul here definitely recognizes Peter's leadership (apostleship, αποστολην, late word, already in Ac 1:25; 1Co 9:2) to the Jews and asserts that Peter acknowledges his apostleship to the Gentiles. This is a complete answer to the Judaizers who denied the genuineness of Paul's apostleship because he was not one of the twelve.
