Jesus of Nazareth - So Philip thought, not knowing he was born in Bethlehem. Nathanael was probably the same with Bartholomew, that is, the son of Tholomew. St. Matthew joins Bartholomew with Philip, Mat 10:3, and St. John places Nathanael in the midst of the apostles, immediately after Thomas, Joh 21:2, just as Bartholomew is placed, Act 1:13. John 1:46
