Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
-
Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
-
Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
-
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
-
“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
-
When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”
-
Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
-
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.”
-
Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
-
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
-
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
-
When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
-
This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.

Philip in Samaria
Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.
-
Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there.
-
When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said.
-
But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
-
Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.
-
Philip and the Ethiopian
Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
-
The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
-
Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
