Bible Person
Meaning: warlike; a lover of horses · Male · 1 cross reference
This Philip entry refers to Herod Philip the tetrarch in Luke 3:1, not to Philip the apostle or Philip the evangelist. He belongs to the political landscape that Luke carefully names when introducing John the Baptist's ministry. First appears in Luke 3:1.1
AI summary: This Philip matters because his single cross reference helps anchor the gospel narrative in a specific and traceable public world. The entry contributes to Luke's pattern of situating salvation history within real rulers, regions, and dates. Taken together, the material presents this Philip as a regional ruler in the historical setting of the gospel.1
