Who else followed Peter's hypocrisy at Antioch and what was the result?
Other Jews withdrew or dissembled along with Peter, and even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. The result was that they separated themselves and would not eat with the Gentile believers, prompting Paul to confront Peter over his inconsistent testimony.
Les explains that Peter, as an ordinary practicing Jew, had a moment of weakness among Gentile believers and blew his testimony again, so Paul had to call him on it. Because of what Peter did, other Jews dissembled or withdrew likewise with him. Even Barnabas, who had seen what Paul was accomplishing among the Gentiles, was carried away with their dissimulation or hypocrisy. The practical result was that they could not eat with these Gentiles.
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
What effect did Peter's withdrawal have on the other Jews and Barnabas?
Peter's withdrawal led other Jews to dissemble and withdraw with him. Because of his example, they separated from Gentile believers. The influence spread so far that Barnabas also was carried away by their dissimulation, or hypocrisy, and they would not eat with the Gentiles.
Was Barnabas also carried away by the hypocrisy at Antioch?
Yes. The context states that even Barnabas, who had witnessed what Paul was accomplishing among the Gentiles, was carried away with the dissimulation or hypocrisy, so that they could not eat with the Gentiles. Other Jews also dissembled or withdrew with Peter because of what he did.
