Commentaries on Galatians 1:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2And all the brethren which are with me - It is very likely that this refers to those who were his assistants in preaching the Gospel, and not to any private members of the Church. Churches of Galatia - Galatia was a region or province of Asia Minor; there was neither city nor town of this name. See the preface. But as, in this province, St. Paul had planted several Churches, he directs the epistle to the whole of them; for it seems they were all pretty…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2And all the brethren which are with me - It was usual for Paul to associate with him the ministers of the gospel, or other Christians who were with him, in expressing friendly salutations to the churches to which he wrote, or as uniting with him, and concurring in the sentiments which he expressed. Though Paul claimed to be inspired, yet it would do much to conciliate favor for what he advanced, if others also concurred with what he said, and especially…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2all the brothers with me: Paul likely wrote from Antioch of Syria. Antioch was the center of Paul’s ministry and the first hub of Gentile Christianity (see Acts 11:20–26). Paul was not alone, although his opponents in Galatia might have suggested that, but he was in fellowship with an important New Testament church. Paul probably founded the churches of Galatia during his first missionary journey (Acts 13:4–14:26; see Galatians Book Introduction…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 22. all the brethren--I am not alone in my doctrine; all my colleagues in the Gospel work, travelling with me (Ac 19:29, Gaius and Aristarchus at Ephesus: Ac 20:4, Sopater, Secundus, Timotheus, Tychicus, Trophimus, some, or all of these), join with me. Not that these were joint authors with Paul of the Epistle: but joined him in the sentiments and salutations. The phrase, "all the brethren," accords with a date when he had many travelling companions, he…Read the comment
