18	the good things of the Kingdom of the Heavens.” And they all cried out saying: “We give glory to Thee,
19	O God of Peter and Philip, because Thou hast had compassion on us and had mercy upon us.”
20	And the Apostles consecrated for them the Church; and the whole multitude was assembled unto it in
21	great joy and gladness while they harkened unto the word of God. Philip read unto them in the Law (and
22	the Prophets), while Peter interpreted them unto them through (the Spirit).

26	[Title and beginning of the text only lost. Philip journeys to Africa! and there preaches the faith.)
27	(He preached the faith of Christ and the mercy) “which He showed towards us. And as multitudes of the
28	city were coming to him that they might hear him, while he was preaching unto them in this wise the name
29	of Christ, namely, that He is God of those who are in Heaven and those who are on earth—the men, who
30	did not believe his holy teaching but worshiped the demons, answered and said unto him: “Who is the
31	Christ Jesus Ⲛⲉ have never heard this name.” The holy Apostle answered and said: “Harken unto me,
32	ye men assembled,? tye who desire to partake of the grace of Christ, the true God. The God whom I preach
33	unto you, He is the living God Who also giveth life unto every one who “believeth on Him. It is the Son Who
34	is in the Father, and the Father Who is in the Son,® while the Holy Spirit is one altogether with them at all
35	times. He is the Invisible; He it is Who hath made all things by His wisdom; He it is Who made the sea
36	and the rivers and the lakes and all things that are in them; He it is Who made all substances to be, those
37	that are unseen and those that are apparent; He it is Who took earth of the earth and fashioned a man after
38	His likeness and His image; “He it is also Who blessed our father Adam, saying unto him on this wise:
39	‘Increase and fill the earth: exercise lordship over it.’4...”

72	And the men said unto him: “And where is the God Who made all these things whereof thou speakest?”
73	The holy Apostle Philip said unto them: “He is in the Heavens and upon the earth with us, the men who do
74	His will.”
75	When the Devil perceived that the holy Apostle desired to bring back the whole multitude unto God,
76	even the Christ Jesus our Lord, he quickly filled their hearts with his evil thoughts fand wrought within
77	them for evil. He caused them to seize the holy Apostle Philip; and they bound him meaning to put
78	*him upon a cross. And thus everyone who seized him fell blind. And the whole multitude cried out, saying:
79	ϯ One is the God of the holy Apostle Philip! Do not slay the holy Apostle who is come to save us all at once.”
80	Thus the whole multitude delivered the holy Apostle Philip from the hands of them who wished to slay him.
81	He was journeying also, preaching in all the regions round about him, preaching unto them God the Word
82	with many miracles and healing every man who was sick among them; so that the whole multitude of
83	the city sought after him, *while he taught them concerning the Kingdom of Heaven. When they brought
84	unto him the blind, he bestowed healing upon them; when they brought unto him the lame, he cured them
85	by the word of his mouth alone; when they brought unto him the halt, he caused them to be whole ; when they
86	brought unto him the deaf, he made them to hear; when they brought unto him the dumb, he made them
87	speak through the power of Christ which was in him; when they brought lepers, he cleansed them through
88	the laying-on of his hands, while he prayed to God over them; when they brought unto him men possessed
89	with demons, he cast them out; and “through the jgrace of our God he wrought (?) healing upon these also.
90	In a word, he was healing every sickness and every frenzy: they were all being healed at the hands of the
91	holy Apostle Philip.
92	Then the great men of the city were wroth when they saw those things which the holy Apostle did for them
93	that were diseased ; but more especially when they saw their beloved ones, their sons, and their daughters,
94	and their brethren, and their companions, renouncing their worship (of idols) and believing on the Christ
95	Jesus, the Only-Begotten and the Word of the Father. And so they assembled together, even *all the great

146	and spake shameful words with one another, saying: “Up, all of us together, that we may seize this great
147	sorcerer who is called ‘Apostle,’ and lay our hands upon him and bind him to kill him. For we will not leave
148	him alive, lest the whole city perish through his attempt. And moreover, this will be an advantage unto us,
149	that the king will not hear that a strange man is come into our city and overthrown the heart of ⲁⲓ the
150	men who are therein; lest he (sc. the king) send and slay us, (asking): ‘ Wherefore do ye bear with him until
151	he corrupt the whole multitude of the city that they may disobey my decree ⲣ.
152	And the great men of the city took one resolve together, and laid hands upon the holy Apostle Philip,

159	took his body out of their midst and out of their thands in the middle of the day, the whole city and the
160	region thereof gazing after him (sc. the angel), as he rose on high in glory and honor: and he hid it (sc. the
161	body) in a ⲧⲟⲥⲕ at Jerusalem.
162	Now when the whole multitude *saw the great marvels which were come to pass and the many great
163	miracles of this man of God, they lifted up their voices on high to God, crying all with one cry, and saying:
164	“One is the God of the holy Apostle Philip, the faithful servant of Jesus, the Lord of them in Heaven and

The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
