PHILIP , " the evangelist," is first mentioned in the Acts (vi. 5) as one of " the seven " who were chosen to attend to certain temporal affairs of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church in See also:Jerusalem in consequence of the murmurings of the Hellenists against the See also:Hebrews. After the martyrdom of See also:Stephen he went to " the See also:city of See also:Samaria," where he preached with much success, See also:Simon Magus being one of his converts. He afterwards instructed and baptized the Ethiopian See also:eunuch on the road between Jerusalem and See also:Gaza; next he was " caught away " by the Spirit and " found at See also:Azotus " (Ashdod), whence " passing through he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea " (Acts viii.). Here some years after-wards, according to Acts xxi. 8, 9, where he is described as " the evangelist " (a See also:term found again in the New Testament only in Eph. iv. II; 2 Tim. iv. 5), he entertained See also:Paul and his See also:companion on their way to Jerusalem; at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time " he had four daughters which did prophesy." At a very See also:early See also:period he came to be confounded with the apostle Philip (see above); the confusion was all the more easy because, as an esteemed member of the apostolic See also:company, he may readily have been described as an apostle in the wider sense of that word (see further See also:Salmon, Introd. to the New Testament, 7th ed., p. 313 sqq.). A See also:late tradition describes him as settling at See also:Tralles in See also:Asia See also:Minor, where he be-came the overseer or ruler of the church. " Philip the See also:deacon " is commemorated on the 6th of See also:June.
