Philip

Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Peter and Andrew, and was called directly by Jesus. He brought Nathanael to Christ with the simple invitation to come and see. At the Last Supper he asked Jesus to show the disciples the Father, prompting the teaching that whoever has seen Jesus has seen the Father.
