Philip the Apostle (Saint Philip in Catholic and Orthodox traditions) was one of Jesus' twelve disciples.
Philip was obviously Greek: his name was Greek, he was a link for Jesus to the Greek community, and in John 12:20-21 Philip sought to introduce to Jesus some Greek supporters:
| “ | Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” | ” |
Background
St. Philip lived in Bethsaida of Galilee, along with Peter and Andrew, two more of Jesus' disciples.[1] [2] Like them, on hearing of John the Baptist, he traveled to where John was speaking. There, he received his call from Jesus, "Follow me." [3] Almost immediately after Jesus said this to him, Philip accepted the call and then went and told Nathanael he had "found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." [4] Nathanael was the first person Philip led to Christ. Philip was present at the miracle of the loaves and fishes.
No one knows how St. Philip died, as his death is not recorded in the Bible or any other book.
Feastday: May 3
