{From Bethsaida} (apo B(8874)hsaida). Same expression in
 12:21  with the added words "of Galilee," which locates it in
Galilee, not in Iturea. There were two Bethsaidas, one called
Bethsaida Julias in Iturea (that in  Lu 9:10 ) or the Eastern
Bethsaida, the other the Western Bethsaida in Galilee ( Mr
6:45 ), perhaps somewhere near Capernaum. This is the town of
Andrew and Peter and Philip. Hence Philip would be inclined to
follow the example of his townsmen.
