In a New Testament context, the evangelists were the authors of the four gospels.The Gospel of Mark was written first and therefore its author was the first evangelist. Although traditionally referred to as Mark, some say that we do not really know who the author was, as the Gospel was only attributed to Mark later in the second century.


What verse in the Bible has Philip's name in it?

There are four Philips mentioned in the Bible:**'Philip, the apostle': Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14; John 1:43-49; Acts 1:13; ; John 6:5-8; John 12:21-22; John 6:5-7; 13:36+37; 14:8+9.**'Philip the Evangelizer' : Acts 21:8; Acts 6:5; Acts 8:4-13+26-40.**Philip, Herod's half-brother: Matthew 14:3; Mark 6:17**Philip, son of Herod the Great and Cleopatra: Luke 3:1-3


Who was the first apostle killed in the Bible?

St. Stephen was an otherwise unknown apostle mentioned only in Acts of the Apostles, where he was the first to die for his faith. Some scholars consider the scene involving Stephen's trial and death as significant, not only because Stephen is the first Christian martyr, but also because the death of Stephen in Acts matches so closely the death of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, by the same author. Both accounts speak of the Son of Man at the right hand of God (Luke 22:69; Acts 7:56); both have a prayer for the forgiveness of those who are effecting this execution ( Luke 23:34a; Acts 7:60); both have the dying figure commend his spirit heavenward (Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59). In the figure of Peter, Acts has shown continuity with Jesus' ministry of healing and preaching; in the figure of Stephen Acts has shown continuity with Jesus' death.Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the existence and martyrdom of Stephen.

Were there three Phillips in Jesus' apostles?

Three Philips are mentioned in the New Testament, but only one was among the 12 apostles (Matthew 10:2-4).A second, Philip "the evangelist," was a deacon in the Jerusalem church (Acts 6:3-5; Acts 8:5).The third was a (half-) brother of Herod Antipas (Matthew 14:3).


Was Philip a deciple?

Scripturally, there is no reason to think they are the same person.The very purpose of choosing men to be deacons was so that the apostles could devote themselves to "the word of God" rather than "serving tables" (Acts 6:2). It's quite a stretch to imagine the apostle Philip "stepping down" from the apostleship into the role of deacon and itinerant evangelist.Also, as the deacons are introduced by name in Acts 6:5, Stephen is prominent, then Philip and the others. If Philip were the apostle, he would be prominent. Also, the manner of presentation is clear that these men are being newly introduced to scripture.In the following verse, the seven are "set before the apostles" to be commissioned. There's a clear distinction between the apostles and the deacons which further denies that Philip the apostle and Philip the deacon are the same person. All evidence is that they were two different men.
