Galatians 2:11 Context
9And when Iames, Cephas and Iohn, who seemed to bee pillars, perceiued the grace that was giuen vnto me, they gaue to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that wee should goe vnto the heathen, and they vnto the circumcision. 10Onely they would that wee should remember the poore, the same which I also was forward to doe. 11But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12For before that certaine came from Iames, he did eate with the Gentiles: but when they were come, hee withdrew, and separated himselfe, fearing them which were of the Circumcisiō. 13And the other Iewes dissembled likewise with him, insomuch that Barnabas also was caried away with their dissimulation.

Wesley's Notes for Galatians 2:11
2:11 But - The argument here comes to the height. Paul reproves Peter himself. So far was he from receiving his doctrine from man, or from being inferior to the chief of the apostles. When Peter - Afterwards, Came to Antioch - Then the chief of all the Gentile churches. I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed - For fear of man, #Gal 2:12|; for dissimulation, Gal 2:13; and for not walking uprightly. #Gal 2:14|.
People's Bible Notes for Galatians 2:11
Ga 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch. It is not certainly known when this event occurred, but probably not far from A.D. 51. Paul narrates it to show that Peter had no superiority over him, as the Judaizers claimed, and as the Romanists still assert. I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. Peter did a wrong thing, and Paul rebuked him for it.
