Philip the Apostle

Philip the Apostle

1st century AD — ca. 80 AD

Philip the Apostle was the practical man among the Twelve who calculated costs precisely, yet asked Christ the question that gave Christian theology its most consequential pivot: 'Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.' He brought the Gospel to Hierapolis and died a martyr there.
