John 1:40 – One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

Andrew was a fisherman who followed John the Baptist and then became one of the first disciples of Jesus. In the lists of the apostles, he appears to be among the first four. According to John, it was he who led his brother Simon Peter to Jesus.
Andrew’s call came as he and Simon were fishing at the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum with their business partner Zebedee and his sons James and John. It was Andrew who informed Jesus about the boy with the loaves and fishes prior to the feeding of the five thousand. On another occasion, he relayed to Jesus the inquiries of the Greeks concerning the Messiah. Andrew has come to be regarded as the patron saint of both Scotland and Russia.
