And when Cephas came to Antioch,
I opposed him to his face because he clearly was wrong.
For, until some people came from James,
he used to eat with the Gentiles;
but when they came, he began to draw back and separated himself,
because he was afraid of the circumcised.
. . . .
I said to Cephas in front of all,
“If you, though a Jew,
are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew,
how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
(Gal 2:11-12,14)

Wow—Church fight!!! What a scene . . . Paul taking Peter down a peg or two. And again, people from James are at the bottom of it. What was it all about? It had to deal with the kosher laws and about sharing with the Gentiles. Peter was fine with Paul’s work with the Gentiles . . . until spies from James showed up. Paul had no problem in calling out hypocrisy . . . and correcting Peter.
