Where in Galatians does Paul separate himself from Peter?
Paul separates himself in Galatians chapter 1, beginning in verse 11. By the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he distinguishes his apostolic ministry from Peter’s, because Peter was the apostle of the Jew and Paul was the apostle of the Gentile.
Les explains that the reason Paul does not follow Peter’s instructions is that Peter was the apostle of the Jew and Paul was the apostle of the Gentile. Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, separates himself in Galatians chapter 1, beginning in verse 11. This separation fits the earlier point that Saul of Tarsus was totally separated from the Twelve: he did not meet the qualifications for Judas’ replacement, since he had not been converted from John’s baptism, had not followed Jesus through His three years of ministry, had not witnessed the resurrection, and had not heard Him during the 40 days before His ascension. Les says they would have to do this quickly.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
