St. Philip the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He is mentioned by name in the Apostle lists of the Synoptic Gospels and frequently features in the Gospel According to John, according to which (1:43–51) he came from Bethsaida, answered Jesus’ call (“Follow me”), and was instrumental in the call of St. Nathanael (probably St. Bartholomew the Apostle), whom he brought to Jesus.
