Andrew:

manliness, a Greek name; one of the apostles of our Lord. He was of Bethsaida in Galilee (Jhn 1:44), and was the brother of Simon Peter (Mat 4:18; 10:2). On one occasion John the Baptist, whose disciple he then was, pointing to Jesus, said, "Behold the Lamb of God" (Jhn 1:40); and Andrew, hearing him, immediately became a follower of Jesus, the first of his disciples. After he had been led to recognize Jesus as the Messiah, his first care was to bring also his brother Simon to Jesus. The two brothers seem to have after this pursued for a while their usual calling as fishermen, and did not become the stated attendants of the Lord till after John's imprisonment (Mat 4:18,19; Mar 1:16,17). Very little is related of Andrew. He was one of the confidential disciples (Jhn 6:8; 12:22), and with Peter, James, and John inquired of our Lord privately regarding his future coming (Mar 13:3). He was present at the feeding of the five thousand (Jhn 6:9), and he introduced the Greeks who desired to see Jesus (Jhn 12:22); but of his subsequent history little is known. It is noteworthy that Andrew thrice brings others to Christ, (1) Peter; (2) the lad with the loaves; and (3) certain Greeks. These incidents may be regarded as a key to his character.
