Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Now Philip was of [rather, 'from' apo (G575 )] Bethsaida, the city, х ek (G1537) tees (G3588) poleoos (G4172)] - it should be 'of the city' "of Andrew and Peter"
Of Andrew and Peter - the city of their birth probably; because their place of residence was Capernaum (Mark 1:29). The fact mentioned in this verse throws light on a very small incident in John 6:5 (on which see). That Philip did follow Jesus is not here recorded; but the next two verses more than express this.
