    Is Phillip and Nathaniel the same apostle?
  • Richard in Christ - In Reply on Psalms 9 - 3 years ago
    Hello David,

    As there are several list of the twelve apostles in the Bible there are a couple with different names used here to there.

    Phillip and Nathaniel are not the same apostles. There are two that have a couple different names:

    Bartholomew is Nathaniel

    And Lebbaeus, Thaddaeus, more commonly known as Judas brother of James.

    God Bless.

    I see the name Philip and Nathan used to refer to the person Jesus was talking to in the book of John in chapter 14:8. I'm confuse now as to which man to ascribe the credit to for his lack of wisdom for: "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, (which name goes here?)"

    Insignificant I know, but just wondering which apostle to ascribe the lack of knowledge to after so long a time with Jesus?

    Interesting. Where have you seen Nathan used in John 14:8-9? I have always known this to be Phillip by what I've read. Checking a site with 26 different versions of the Bible they all had Phillip.

    Was this a certain Bible you saw the other name there? Thanks David.

    I have the first 9 verses of John 14 committed to memory from the King James version. This was about 10 years ago, but not sure where that bible is now.

    Thanks for getting me strait on the facts. I will use the correct name from now on.
