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.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2all the brothers with me: Paul likely wrote from Antioch of Syria.

- 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
