John 1:40 – One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
The second disciple is not named. The manner in which “Andrew” is addressed, as the brother of “Simon Peter”, tells us that Peter’s name was now recognized to a greater degree than any of the other Apostles). Usually, when a specific name is mentioned in the Bible that person is of recognition.
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.

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.
