Reading from the Synaxarion:
Philip the Apostle
This Apostle,
one of the Twelve, was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and was a compatriot of
Andrew and Peter. He was instructed in the teachings of the Law, and devoted
himself to the study of the prophetic books. Therefore, when the Lord Jesus
called him to the dignity of apostleship, he immediately sought out and found
Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of Whom Moses in the Law and
the Prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph" (John 1.45).
Having preached Jesus the God-man throughout many parts of Asia Minor, and
having suffered many things for His Name's sake, he was finally crucified
upside down in Hierapolis of Phrygia.
