Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
Bethsaida means “house of fish.” There may have been 2 Bethsaidas, one on the southeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee where the Jordan River empties into it (Bethsaida Julias), and the other on the northwestern shore of the same lake, near the town of Capernaum, Bethsaida of Galilee.
Since this is also the town of Andrew and Peter, Philip would be more inclined to follow their example of following Jesus.
