Philip the Evangelist was a leader of the Early Christian movement.
Overview
According to the Acts of the Apostles, Philip the Evangelist (not to be confused with Philip the Apostle) was one of the Seven Deacons appointed by the Twelve, as leaders of the Hellenists within the early Christian movement.
After a persecution arose against the Hellenists, following the stoning of their leader Stephen, Philip fled to Samaria, where he preached the Gospel, and converted Simon Magus. He then baptized at Gaza the first Gentile convert, an Ethiopian eunuch.
The final reference to Philip sees him residing in Caesarea Maritima with his four unmarried daughter, and being visited by Paul of Tarsus on his way to Jerusalem.
