[Galatians 2:11-12 KJV] 11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
Those that came from James are not readily identified other than they were Jews.
[Gal 2:13 KJV] 13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
Who are the "other Jews" that dissembled (acted hypocritically) with Peter in not eating with the Gentiles?
It is not clear who these "other Jews" are but we can make a good case in saying they were Jews who believed Paul's gospel by considering what else Paul had to say. Paul said that Barnabas also was carried away. Barnabas was a Jew, a Levite according to Acts 4:36, who was in the church at Antioch (Acts 13:1) and could be considered to be among these "other Jews"; Barnabas and the "other Jews" were part of Paul's ministry (Acts 13:43 46 15:35 36 Galatians 2:9).
[Gal 2:14 KJV] 14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Paul was saying that Barnabas and the "other Jews" were not walking (behaving) according to the truth of the gospel by not eating with the Gentiles. What gospel was Paul speaking of? Paul was saying that Barnabas and the "other Jews" were not walking according to his gospel. Paul was not saying Peter was not walking according to his own gospel. Paul was not saying they both shared a common gospel. Paul was saying the Jews in his ministry were not walking according to his gospel.
