Philip in Luke 3
FIL-ip
This person shows up in Luke 3:1: “Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Luke 3:1
“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,”
What kids can learn
When you hear philip in Luke, remember the sentence around it. God put this person in the story on purpose.
