Meet the Apostles: Philip

Meet the Apostles: Philip by ric Gustafson


When Jesus invited Philip to follow him, he eagerly accepted. Philip introduced his friend Nathanael to Jesus. Philip like the other Apostles struggled to grasp the true nature of Jesus's power and identity. During the feeding of the five thousand, Philip was not sure if a miracle could happen.
Philip is not mentioned much in the Gospels. After Jesus's ascension, it was said that Philip ended up in Hierapolis Pamukkale Turkey. They say that he was buried in the center of the building. He was martyred by being crucified upside down.
