Philip the Apostle was a first-century disciple of Jesus and one of the Twelve Apostles. Originally from Bethsaida, he is identified in the New Testament as the individual who introduced Nathanael to Christ. Following the resurrection, he traveled extensively as a missionary, preaching throughout regions such as Greece, Syria, and Asia Minor. Christian traditions vary regarding his death, noting that he may have been martyred in Hierapolis either by beheading or through crucifixion, often alongside Bartholomew.
