Footnotes
- 17 Or “influential leaders.” δοκέω 2.a.β has “the influential men Gal 2:2, 6b. A fuller the same mng., inf. added … vss. 6a, 9.” This refers to the leadership of the Jerusalem church.
- 18 Grk “God does not receive the face of man,” an idiom for showing favoritism or partiality ( πρόσωπον 1.b.α; L&N 88.238).
- 19 Or “influential people”; here “leaders” was used rather than “people” for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy with the word “people” in the previous parenthetical remark. See also the note on the word “influential” at the beginning of this verse.
- 20 Or “contributed.” This is the same word translated “go to ask advice from” in 1:16, but it has a different meaning here; see L&N 59.72.
- 21 Or “added nothing to my authority.” Grk “added nothing to me,” with what was added (“message,” etc.) implied.

And the leaders of the church had nothing to add to what I was preaching. (By the way, their reputation as great leaders made no difference to me, for God has no favorites.)
