D. Guthrie. Galatians 2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. When a number of ships are moored, or anchored, or buoyed in the river, all have an interest in the safety of each.

The drifting ships may sink, but they will drag others down. (D. Guthrie.)
