Andrew – the Apostle Who Shared Jesus Personally

Was a Disciple of John the Baptist

John the Baptist Bears Witness of Jesus – John 1:27 - 35

‘Again, the next day after, John stood, and two of his disciples, and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said; Behold the Lamb of God!

And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.Then Jesus turned, and saw them following him, and said unto them, What seek ye? They say unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master;) Where dwellest thou? He said unto them, Come and see. And they came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

One of the two who heard John, and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.” John 1:35 - 40

Called to be Fishers of Men

“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. And he said unto them, I am he of whom it is written by the prophets; follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And they, believing on his words, left their net, and straightway followed him.” Matthew 4:17 – 19

Andrew Offer Help to Feed the Multitude

“And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him; for he himself knew what he would do.”

Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little!

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?” John 6:3 – 9
