St. Philip the Apostle and St. James the Less
Catholic Information Network (CIN). The Gospels of Sts. Matthew, Mark and Luke tell us nothing of Philip except our Lord's choice of him as an Apostle. St. John, however, in youth his fellow townsman at Bethsaida, and in old age his neighbor in Asia Minor, tells us more of him. [eng] |

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Philip the Apostle
Like the brothers, Peter and Andrew, Philip was a native of Bethsaida on Lake Genesareth (John 1:44). He also was among those surrounding the Baptist when the latter first pointed out Jesus as the Lamb of God. [eng] |

St. Philip
St. Philip was of Bethsaida, in Galilee, and called by our Saviour to follow him1 the day after St. Peter and St. Andrew. He was at that time a married man, and had several daughters; but his being engaged in the married state hindered him not, as St. Chrysostom observes, from meditating continually on the law and the prophets, which disposed him for the important discovery of the Messias in the person of Jesus Christ, in obedience to whose command he forsook all to follow him, and became thenceforth the inseparable companion of his ministry and labors.
