Philip’s Mission to Phrygia
After years of successful preaching in Jerusalem, Philip traveled to Phrygia in Asia Minor, where his gentle teaching style won many converts, including the wife of a powerful Roman proconsul. His success angered local pagan priests who saw their influence slipping away. Historical accounts from Eusebius describe how he converted entire towns through his practical demonstrations of faith. Around 80 AD, hostile crowds in Hierapolis either stoned or crucified him.
