Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 2:7

7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was commited unto me t, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter .

They were so far from contradicting any thing that I had preached, that when they understood from me, and Barnabas, (who Acts 15.12. Declared in the counsel what miracles and wonders God had wrought amongst the Gentiles by them):

That the business of preaching the Gospel to those who were no Iews, (for that is meant by uncircumcision; not simply those that were not circumcised (for some of the Heathens were circumcised) yet all go in Scripture under the name of uncircumcised) was committed to me.

As the preaching of the Gospel to the Iews was committed to Peter, and not to him only, but to Iames and John. It must not be so understood, as if Paul might not preach to the Jews, or Peter might not preach to the Gentiles (for the contrary is evident from Acts▪ 9.15. as to Paul, and from Peters preaching to Cornelius, Act. 10.) but because God designed the Gentiles to be more especially the Province for Paul to exercise his ministry in Acts. 26.17. (and accordingly he was specially sent out by the Church, Acts 13.4.) as Peters chief work was among the Jews.
