Question: Which one of other disciples of Jesus came from the same town as Peter and Andrew?
Answer: Philip. (John 1:44)
Comments: The Gospel of John records that the disciple Philip, like brothers and fellow disciples Andrew and Peter, was originally from Bethsaida. Bethsaida was a city of Galilee whose name means "house of fishing."
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. (John 1:44, NASB)
John is the only canonical gospel which presents Philip as anything more than a name in a list of disciples. (Matthew 10:3, Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14) John actually denotes Philip's hometown twice. (John 1:44, 12:21)
