Andrew was Saint Peter’s brother, and was called with him. “As [Jesus] was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is now called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him” (Matthew 4:18-20).
John the Evangelist presents Andrew as a disciple of John the Baptist. When Jesus walked by one day, John said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” Andrew and another disciple followed Jesus. “Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come, and you will see.’ So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day” (John 1:38-39a).

“As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew,
casting a net into the sea …. He said … ‘Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him. … two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. … were in a boat, with their father …. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed Him.”
“… ‘There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation … the powers of the heavens will be shaken. … then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with Power and Great glory. … when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your Redemption is at hand.'”

“Jesus said … ‘They will seize and persecute you … hand you over … because of My Name. … I Myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that … your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. … they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of My Name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.'”
