Philip was one of Jesus's twelve disciples who came from Bethsaida and was a fisherman by trade. He preached in Phrygia and died a martyr in Hierapolis by hanging. Philip had a warm heart but was pessimistic by nature. He wanted to help others but did not see how it could be done. Bartholomew, also known as Nathanael, was a missionary to Asia and was martyred in Armenia by being flayed to death with a whip. Both Philip and Bartholomew struggled with faith at times and needed proof or encouragement from Jesus to fully believe.
