John 6:8

One of his disciples Of course this does not imply that Philip was nota disciple; the meaning rather is, that a disciple had been appealed to without results, and now a disciple makes a communication out of which good results flow. There seems to have been some connexion between S. Andrew and S. Philip (John 1:44; John 12:22). In the lists of the Apostles in Mark 3 and Acts 1 S. Philip's name immediately follows Andrew's. On S. Andrew see notes on John 1:40-41. The particulars about Philip and Andrew here are not found in the Synoptists" account.
