This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

45. ἀπὸ Βηθ. For the change of preposition see on Joh 11:1. The local knowledge displayed in this verse is very real. S. John would possess it; a writer in the second century would not, and would not care to invent. This is ‘Bethsaida of Galilee’ (Joh 12:21) on the western shore, not Bethsaida Julias (see on Mat 4:13). In the Synoptists Philip is a mere name: our knowledge of him comes from S. John (see on Joh 1:42, Joh 6:7, Joh 12:21, Joh 14:8).
