Antioch Inner Gospel Unveiled

Galatians 2:11-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Galatians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

11But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Galatians 2:11-14

Biblical Context

Paul opposes Peter in Antioch for publicly behaving as if Gentiles must live by Jewish rules. The passage shows a clash between outward appearances and the gospel of grace, highlighting that truth lies in consistent inner faith, not external ritual.

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter's withdrawal at Antioch is a mirror of how a mind clings to a status and fears the gaze of the circumcision, the old sense of separation. The gospel here is not about meals but about your inner accord: two inner policies contend for rule—law and love. When I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I did not scold a man alone; I confronted the belief in me that would force Gentiles to live by another’s law. The gospel, in this sense, is your conscious awareness of oneness. By standing publicly in the truth that all are one in the I AM, you disarm the counterfeit self that would separate. The moment you refuse to yield to fear of judgment, you free the life of God within to act as grace rather than rule. Your reality will straighten itself to reflect the unity you accept in imagination and feeling; what you revise inwardly, outwardly manifests as peace among all, not by coercion but by alignment with the gospel of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are the I AM behind this scene and revise the story by saying, I will walk by the gospel of grace, not by fear or outward approval, and all are included in my awareness. Sit with the feeling of oneness until it becomes immediate and your next choice reflects that truth.
