Answer: The closest to this is the New Testament evangelist Philip who had four. According to Acts 21 verses 8 - 9 " ....we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist....the same man had four daughters, ...... which did prophecy."
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.
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
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.
