Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father," "Follow me," Jesus said to him, "and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew, the tax-gatherer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname is Thaddeus;

and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Zealot,

They were Simon, whom he had also called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John;

To another he said, "Follow me!" But he replied, "Permit me first to go and bury my father." "Leave the dead to bury their own dead," said Jesus to him, "go you and announce, far and wide the kingdom of God."

This happened in Bethany, beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said: "Behold, that is God's Lamb, who takes and bears away the sin of the world. read more. This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes One who has been put before me, for he was before me.' I myself did not recognize him; I only came baptizing in water, in order that he might be openly shown to Israel." John also bore this testimony, saying. "I saw the Spirit like a dove descend from heaven and rest upon him. And I did not recognize him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and resting upon him, is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' This I have seen, and I am become a witness to the fact that he is the Son of God." Next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples. After gazing intently on Jesus as he walked about, he said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!" The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned and saw them following him, and said, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated 'Teacher'), "where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come, and you shall see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four o'clock in the afternoon. One of the two men who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

One of the two men who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. In the morning he found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (a word which means Christ, the Anointed One).

In the morning he found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (a word which means Christ, the Anointed One). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked intently at him and said: "You are Simon, son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (or 'Peter,' which means 'Rock').

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked intently at him and said: "You are Simon, son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (or 'Peter,' which means 'Rock'). Next day Jesus decided to go into Galilee; and he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." read more. Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.

Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter. Then Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found him about whom Moses wrote in the Law, as did the prophets??esus of Nazareth, Joseph's son."

Then Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found him about whom Moses wrote in the Law, as did the prophets??esus of Nazareth, Joseph's son." And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said, "Behold a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit." read more. "How do you know me?" asked Nathanael. "Before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." "Rabbi," answered Nathanael, "you are the Son of God; you are King of Israel." Jesus said in reply. "Do you believe because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree?' You shall see greater things than that! Believe me," he added, "you all shall see heaven opened wide, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"

One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon, said to him.

these came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we want to see Jesus." Philip went and told Andrew. Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered.

Isaiah uttered these words because he saw his glory, and he spoke of him.

For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

"Lord," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father, and we shall be satisfied." "Have I been so long among you, and yet you, Philip, have you not recognized me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Cause us to see the Father'?

Now in these days while the number of the disciples was multiplying, the Grecian Jews began to murmur against the Hebrews, because their widows were habitually overlooked in the distribution of alms. Then the Twelve called the general body of the disciples together, and said to them. "It is not fitting for us to leave off preaching the Word of God, and minister at tables. read more. "So, brothers, find from among your own number seven men of good reputation who are full of the Spirit and of wisdom, and we will appoint them over this business. "But we will give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word." This plan commended itself to the whole body, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch. These men they presented to the apostles who, when they had prayed, laid their hands upon them.

So those who were scattered abroad were going everywhere preaching the word. Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and began to preach Christ there. read more. The crowd with one accord were giving heed to what he said, when they heard and saw the signs that he did. For with a loud cry unclean spirits would come out of many possessed by them, and many that were palsied and lame were healed. There began to be great joy in that city.

And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go on your way south, along the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert way." So he arose and went. And behold an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, who was a high official (a chief treasurer) of Candace, the queen of Ethiopia, who had come to Jerusalem to worship read more. Was now on his way home, and was reading the Prophet Isaiah as he sat in his chariot. And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join that chariot." So Philip ran up, and heard him reading Isaiah the Prophet, and said to him. "Do you understand what you are reading?" The eunuch answered, "Why, how can I unless someone shall show me the way?" And he begged Philip to get up and sit with him. Now the portion of Scripture which he was reading was as follows. He was led a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, So he opened not his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will declare his posterity? For his life is cut off from the earth. "Pray," asked the eunuch of Philip, "of whom is the prophet speaking? Of himself, or of some one else?" Then Philip opened his lips, and beginning from that same scripture, he preached the gospel of Jesus to him. And as they were going on their way they came to a certain water, and the eunuch said: "See, here is water! What hinders my being baptized?" And Philip said, "If you believe with your whole heart, you may." The eunuch answered, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." And he ordered the chariot to stop; and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing. Philip found himself at Ashdod. Then visiting town after town, he kept preaching the good news in all the cities until he reached Caesarea.

On the morrow we started for Caesarea, where we went into the house of Philip, the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who prophesied,
