Felipe (Gr. Fílippos, “lover of horses”; frequent name among the Gr.). 1. Philip the apostle. One of the Twelve (Mar 3:18), originally from Bethsaida, the home of Peter and Andrew (Joh 1:44). He was among the first to be drawn to Jesus as the Messiah (vs 43, 44), and who brought Nathanael to Christ (vs 45-51). A year and a half later, Philip and 11 others were ordained as apostles (Mar 3:13-19). Six months later, on the occasion of the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000, Jesus asked him a question to test his faith: “Where shall we buy bread for these to eat?” (John 6:5). Philip’s estimation of the amount needed for each one to have “a little” emphasizes the magnitude of the miracle of the loaves and fishes (vs 6, 7). Philip’s name no longer appears in the Gospels until Tuesday of passion week, when a group of Greek proselytes who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover approached him asking for an interview with Jesus (12:20, 21), Philip first conversed with Andrew, and then they went together to present the request to Christ (vs 21, 22). At the end of the Last Supper, when Jesus spoke of his intimate relationship with the Father, Philip asked: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us” (14:8). In response, Jesus highlighted the essential unity of character and purpose that motivates the Father and the Son (vs 9, 10). Finally, Philip is among the apostles found in the upper room after the resurrection, before Pentecost (Acts 1:13; the last sure reference we have of him in the Bible). According to one tradition, he died of old age; according to another, he crucified. 2. Philip the evangelist. One of the 7 men chosen by the Jerusalem church to care for the Hellenistic Jewish widows who were being neglected in the daily distribution of food, which was carried out in harmony with the community system adopted by the new church (Act 6:1- 6; cf 4:32, 34, 35). Before that election nothing is said about him, 447 although tradition states that, along with Stephen, he was one of the 70 (Luk 10:1, 7). According to the requirements established for the 7, he was a man of “good testimony, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom” (Act 6: 3). After the stoning of Stephen, when the believers were forced to leave Jerusalem (Acts 8: 2, 4), Philip went to Samaria, where he preached about Christ. His preaching was accompanied by miraculous healings and the casting out of demons so that there was “great joy in that city” (Acts 8: 5-8). This attracted Simon the magician (vs 9-11). Impressed by what he saw, he became convinced of the superior power of the One Philip served, and accepted baptism (v 13). Later events showed that his conversion was only intellectual and partial (vs 18-24). Later, an angel commanded Philip to go south to the road from Jerusalem to Gaza (v 26). Obeying instructions he saw an Ethiopian eunuch, the royal treasurer of the queen of Ethiopia, coming from Jerusalem in a chariot and reading from an Isaiah scroll. The Spirit ordered him to approach the chariot, and Philip discovered that the eunuch did not understand the passage he was reading. Invited to get on the car to explain the prophecy, he showed her that the passage pointed to Christ. The traveler, convinced and converted, asked for and received baptism, which Philip administered (vs 27-38). Immediately afterwards, “the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away” (v 39), who “found himself at Azotus” (v 40), near the coast, and possibly 20 or 25 km from the meeting place. From Azotus, Philip went to various cities preaching, until he arrived at Caesarea (v 40). Years later, Paul, on his way to Jerusalem towards the end of his 3rd missionary journey, stayed in that city at Philip’s house. Luke reports that he “had four maiden daughters who prophesied” (21:8, 9). It is possible that he established his home in Caesarea, to continue preaching in the neighboring cities. 3. Philip the tetrarch. Son of Herod the Great. See Herod 4. 4. Philip, the husband of Herodias; Another son of Herod the Great. See Herod 5.

He met Nathanael, perhaps Bartholomew himself , to whom he spoke and gave testimony of Jesus as the one of whom Moses and the Prophets wrote, the son of Joseph, the one from Nazareth. Nathanael asked him if something good could be there. F., he only said: † œGo and you will see †, Jn 1, 45-51.

When Jesus said goodbye to his disciples before the passion, and spoke to them about the Father, F. asked him to show them the Father. Jesus, then, answered him: “Have I been with you so long and you don’t know me, F.? He who has seen me has seen the Father †, Jn 14, 8-9. Some Greeks, who had gone to Jerusalem to worship, came to F. so that he would take them to see Jesus, Jn 12, 20-22.

After the stoning of Esteban, who was also one of the seven, Acts 7, 57-60, F. went to Samaria to preach, where there was a magician, Simon, who had many followers due to his magical arts. F., with his word and the miracles that he worked there, converted them and baptized them, including Simon, who since then has not departed from him, Acts 8, 4-13. The angel of the Lord sent F. along the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, where he ran into a eunuch of the queen of Ethiopia, who was reading in the book of Isaiah the passage that speaks of the Servant: “carried as a sheep to the slaughter† , Is 53, 7-8.

The eunuch asked F. who the prophet was referring to in the text and the apostle, from the OT passage, announced the Word to him and Candace’s servant converted and was baptized, after which F. was snatched away by the eunuch. Spirit of the Lord to Azotus, where he evangelized to Caesarea, Acts 8, 26-40. F. settled in Caesarea with his † œfour virgin daughters who prophesied †, Acts 21, 8-9.

When Christ said that he was†œ the way, and the truth, and the life† and that no one would come to the Father if it were not for him, F. replied: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. Jesus said to him: I have been with you so long, and you have not known me, F.?† (Joh 14:6-9). He participated in the selection of the substitute for Judas (Acts 1:13). F’s later life is not known.
