Philip in Matthew 14
FIL-ip
This person shows up in Matthew 14:3: “For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Matthew 14:3
“For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.”
