How did a Jew get a name such as the Greek, "Philip?" It's possible that he was named in honor of Philip the Tetrarch who had, some ten years before his birth, done much to raise the status of the region of his birth. Philip was born in Bethsaida in Galilee.
Most of his latter ministry took place in Galatia (in Turkey) and it's believed that at the age of 87, he suffered martyrdom in Hierapolis.
