Jn 1:44 ... Now was the Philip from Bethsaida, out of the city of Andrew and Stone.

Verse 44 has two phrases and the following 12 narrator words ... "ēn de ho Filippos apo Bēthsaida, ek tēs poleōs Andreou kai Petrou" (Was now the Philip from Bethsaida, out of the city of Andrew and Stone).

The 12 narrator words are top down. Jesus said "follow me" to put Philip as high up in Galilee as possible to locate another disciple. Jesus and Philip are now looking down on Bethsaida, the hexagonal city on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. This diagram tells the reader that the home of Philip, Andrew, and Simon is in Bethsaida of the Galilee. The sign for Bethsaida makes a perfect fit for these three disciples. The names of the three discipes are tangent to their faces.
