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

Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

He told another: Follow me. But he said: Lord first let me go bury my father. Let the dead bury the dead. You go and publish abroad the kingdom of God. Jesus replied.

These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming to him. He boldly declared: Behold! The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world! read more. This is he whom I said would come after me. He is greater than I am because he came before me. I did not know him. I came baptizing in water so that everyone in Israel will come to know him. John said: I saw the spirit descending as a dove out of heaven upon him. I did not know he was the one. God sent me to baptize in water and said: 'You will see one upon whom the spirit descends. The same is he who baptizes in Holy Spirit.' I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God. The next day John was standing with two of his disciples. He looked at Jesus as he walked, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God! The two disciples heard him speak and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following. He asked them, What are you after? They asked him: Teacher, where are you staying? He said Come and see. So they came to where he was staying. They stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. One of the two, who heard John speak and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

One of the two, who heard John speak and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He found his brother Simon first. He said to him: We have found the Messiah (Christ).

He found his brother Simon first. He said to him: We have found the Messiah (Christ). He took him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said: You are Simon the son of John: you will be called Cephas (meaning: Peter).

He took him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said: You are Simon the son of John: you will be called Cephas (meaning: Peter). The next day he was reminded to go into Galilee. There he found Philip. Jesus said to him, Follow me. read more. Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and said to him: We have found the person Moses and the prophets wrote about in the Law and God's word. It is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Philip found Nathanael, and said to him: We have found the person Moses and the prophets wrote about in the Law and God's word. It is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said to him: Could any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip said: Come and see.

And Nathanael said to him: Could any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip said: Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him. He said: Look an Israelite indeed. There is no deceit in him! read more. Nathanael asked: How do you know me? Jesus answered: I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you. Nathanael answered: Rabbi you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel. Jesus responded: I told you I saw you under the fig tree. Is this why you believe? You will see greater things than these. Jesus continued: You will see the heavens opened and you will see the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to him. He asked Philip: Where will we buy enough bread to feed them?

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, one of his disciples said:

They approached Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and told him: We wish to see Jesus. Philip and Andrew told Jesus.

Isaiah said these things because he saw and spoke about his glory.

They loved the glory from men more than the glory from God.

Philip said: Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us. Jesus responded: Have I been with you so long a time and you do not know me Philip? He who has seen me has discerned (experienced) (perceived) the Father. And you say, show us the Father?

The number of disciples increased at that time. A murmuring arose on the part of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. The twelve called the congregation of the disciples to them. They said: It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God and serve tables. read more. Therefore brothers select seven men who have a good reputation. Men who are full of spirit and wisdom that we may appoint to take care of this business. We will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word. The idea pleased the whole congregation. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch, whom they set before the apostles. After they prayed, they laid their hands on them.

They who were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word. Then Philip went to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them. read more. The people with one accord gave heed to those things Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles he did. Unclean spirits, crying with loud voices, came out of many who were possessed by them. Many who were taken with palsies and the lame were healed. There was great joy in that city.

God's angel said to Philip: Arise, and go toward the south the way that goes from Jerusalem unto Gaza through the desert. He went and an Ethiopian eunuch (government official), a man of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship. read more. He was returning and sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and climb on this chariot. Philip ran to him, heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said: Do you understand what you are reading? How can I, the eunuch said: unless someone explains it to me? He invited Philip to come and sit with him. The Scripture he read was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer so he did not open his mouth. In his humiliation his judgment was taken away. Who will declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth. The eunuch asked Philip: Please tell me of whom is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else? Then Philip began at the same Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. On their way, they came to a body of water and the eunuch said, See, here is water. What prevents me from getting baptized? Philip said: If you believe with all your heart, you may. He answered: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He commanded the chariot to stop. They both went into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. After they came out of the water God's Spirit took Philip away. The eunuch did not see him again. He continued his journey rejoicing. Philip was seen passing through Azotus. He preached in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

The next morning we left for Caesarea where we entered the house of Philip the evangelist and one of the seven. Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.
