Apostle living at the time of the New Testament

Andrew

John 1:35–42; Mark 1:16–18; John 6:8–9; 12:20–22

Simon Peter’s brother, a fisherman, and one of the first two disciples of John the Baptist to follow Jesus. He found his brother and told him, “We have found the Messiah!” and brought him to Jesus (John 1:35–42). Jesus called him with Peter from their nets (Matthew 4:18–20). It was Andrew who brought the boy with five barley loaves and two fish, and who, with Philip, brought some Greeks who wanted to see Jesus (John 6:8–9; 12:20–22).

His birth year isn't recorded; the bar assumes he was a young man when called in AD 30. Peter's brother and first a disciple of John the Baptist; he brought Peter to Jesus (John 1:40–42). Scripture doesn't record his death. Tradition says he preached around the Black Sea and in Greece and was crucified at Patras; the end date shown is an estimate.
