Andrés (gr. Andréas, “brave”, “manly” or “virile”). The Jews used this Greek name -as the Talmud attests-, which shows to what extent the Jews of NT times had become Hellenized. Disciple of Jesus and brother of Simon Peter. In 2 lists of the Twelve that appear in the Gospels, his name is the 2nd, after Peter (Mat 10:2; Luk 6:14), and in another 2 he follows those of Peter, James and John, the inner circle of the disciples (Mar 3:18; Act 1:13). Andrew came from Bethsaida (John 1:44), on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. He was a fisherman by trade, in partnership with his brother Peter (Mat 4:18). Andrew was one of the 2 disciples to whom John the Baptist identified Jesus as “the Lamb of God” by the Jordan (John 1:35-40). Apparently, Andrew was in the group of disciples that followed Jesus to Galilee and attended the wedding feast in Cana (1:43; 2:1, 2). He is then mentioned as one of the 4 called to permanent full-time discipleship (Matt 4:18-22). During Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, Andrew and Peter lived together in their own house in Capernaum (Mar 1:21, 29). A few months later, Andrew and 11 others were chosen from a larger number of followers and ordained as apostles (Luk 6:13-16). As one of the Twelve he went out the following winter, possibly in a relationship with his brother (Matt 10:1-5). With Philip he introduced Jesus to a group of Greek proselytes in the outer court of the temple during passion week, and was one of the 4 disciples to whom Jesus revealed the signs of his coming on the Mount of Olives a few hours later late (John 12:20-22; Mark 13:1-4). After the Lord’s resurrection he rejoined the other disciples in Jerusalem (Acts 1:13, 14). Nothing is known with certainty about his later life and ministry, though tradition claims that he was in Scotland and that he was martyred (crucified) in Greece.

from the Greek andros, manly, masculine. One of the first disciples of Jesus, a native of Bethsaida, Jn 1, 40 and 44. A. and his brother Simon Peter were fishermen on the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus found them and called them to be “fishers of men” Mt 4 , 18-19; Mark 1, 16-17. The trace of A. is lost, only the tradition remains that he was martyred in Patras on a cross in the shape of an X, which is known as the Cross of Saint A.

(gr., Andreas, manly).
Brother of Simon Peter (Joh 1:44), with whom he lived in Capernaum (Mar 1:29). Andrew was a fisherman and a disciple of John the Baptist, who directed him to Jesus. Convinced that Jesus was the Messiah, he brought Peter to Jesus (John 1:25-42). Jesus immediately called Andrew to discipleship (Mat 4:18-19) and named him an apostle (Mat 10:2; Mar 3:18; Luk 6:14; Act 1:13). In the lists of apostles he always appears next to Philip (also from Bethsaida). On the occasion of the feeding of the 5,000 he expressed doubt that the multitude could be fed with the boy’s five loaves and two fish (John 6:6-9). According to tradition he preached in Scythia and suffered martyrdom in Achaia, being crucified on an X-shaped cross, now called St. Andrew’s cross.

(Manly). One of the apostles. A fisherman like his brother Peter, he was originally from † ¢ Bethsaida (Jua 1:44) but lived in † ¢ Capernaum. He was a disciple of † ¢ John the Baptist and when he heard his message he followed Jesus. Then he went and brought his brother Simon saying to him: † œWe have found the Messiah † (Jua 1: 33-42). He was the one who presented the Lord Jesus to a boy with † œfive barley loaves and two small fish †, and gave rise to the miracle that the Lord Jesus later performed (John 6: 8-9). The Greeks who wanted to see the Lord told Philip and he told A. (John 12:20-23), perhaps because they were from Bethsaida, where Greek was more commonly spoken. “Peter, James, John, and A.† inquired of the Lord Jesus as to when the end would be (Mar 13:3-5).

tip, BIOG APOS HOMB HONT = “manly”. Natural of Betsaida, brother of Simón Pedro, and fisherman. He became part of the twelve apostles. He had been a disciple of John, but hearing him say “Behold the Lamb of God!” He followed Jesus. He immediately went to find his brother Simon to tell him that he had found the Messiah. Little is told about Andrés; he was one of those who asked the Lord apart when the destruction of the temple would take place, and what would be the sign when the things of which he had spoken were to be fulfilled. After revealing that several judgments were going to come, the Lord added: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father” (Mr. 13 3, 4, 32). The Lord, as Servant-Prophet (which is the character that gives him the spirit in Mark) did not know the day. Tradition says that Andrew dedicated himself to the work of the Lord in Scythia, Greece and Asia Minor, and that he was crucified in Patre, in Achaia, on an X-shaped cross, which is therefore called the “cross of Saint Andrew”. ” (Mt. 4:18; Lk. 6:14; Jn. 1:40, 44; Acts 1:13, etc.).

He was a native of Bethsaida and the brother of Simon. He lived in Capernaum and was a fisherman. He was the first of the apostles of Jesus (Mk 1,16-18; 3,18). He had been before-* a disciple of John the Baptist (Jn 1,35-42). The gospels highlight him together with Peter, James and John (Mk 13,3). He intervened in a special way in the multiplication of the loaves (Jn 6,8) and as an intermediary between some Greeks (his name is Greek) who wanted to see Jesus (Jn 12,22).

One of the twelve apostles to whom an apocryphal Gospel and Acts were attributed. In relation to the first work, its Gnostic content seems to be established and it is possible that Augustine of Hippo referred to it in Contra adversaries legis et prophetarum I, 20. The Acts of Andrew are mentioned by Eusebius (HE III, 25, 6) as a heretical work. It is possible that its author was Leukios Cariños and that the writing date can be set around 260. The work has only reached us in fragments.

(from a Greek root meaning: “man; male”; probably: Manly).
Brother of Simón Pedro and son of Jonás (Juan). (Mt 4:18; 16:17) Although Andrew’s hometown was Bethsaida, he and Simon were living together in Capernaum when Jesus called them to become “fishers of men.” (Mr 1:16, 17, 21, 29; Joh 1:44) Both cities were on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, where the two brothers conducted the fishing business in partnership with James and John. (Mt 4:18; Mr 1:16; Lu 5:10.)
Andrew was first a disciple of John the Baptist (Jn 1:35, 40), and in the fall of 29 CE, while at Bethany on the east side of the Jordan River, he heard John the Baptist introduce Jesus as “the Lamb of God† . (Joh 1:29) Together with another disciple (probably John), he followed Jesus to his lodgings and was soon convinced that he had found the Messiah. Then he went to find his brother Simon, told her who he had found and led him to Jesus. (Joh 1:36-41) The two brothers returned to their fishing business, but six months to a year later, after the arrest of John the Baptist, Jesus invited them, along with James and John, so that they would be “fishers of men.” They immediately abandoned their nets and began to accompany Jesus. (Mt 4:18-20; Mr 1:14, 16-20) In time, all four became apostles, and it is striking that Andrew is mentioned among the top four in all lists of apostles . (Mt 10:2; Mr 3:18; Lu 6:14.)
From then on, Andrés is only mentioned in passing. Reference is made to the occasion in which he and Philip discuss with Jesus the problem of feeding some five thousand men, an occasion in which Andrew himself mentions that there is a little food at hand, although he himself sees that his recommendation is of very little practical value. (Joh 6:8, 9) At the time of their last Passover feast together, Philip approached Andrew to inquire about certain Greeks who wanted to see Jesus, and they both went to tell him. (Joh 12:20-22) Andrew was one of the four who asked Jesus on the Mount of Olives about the sign that would mark the time of the conclusion of the system of things. (Mr 13:3) Andrew is last mentioned shortly after Jesus’ ascension. (Ac 1:13.)

One of the twelve apostles. It is a Greek name (meaning “manly”), but it may have been his “Christian name”, such as “Peter”. He was the son of Jonas or John and was a native of Bethsaida, in Galilee (Jn. 1.44), but later he went to live with his brother Simon Peter in Capernaum (Mr. 1.29), where they worked in partnership as fishermen (Mt. 4.18) . As a disciple of John the Baptist (Jn. 1:35–40) he was present when John pointed to Jesus as the Lamb of God. He then found Simon and took him to see Jesus (Jn. 1.42). Later he was called to full discipleship (Mt. 4.18-20; Mr. 1.16-18) and was one of the apostles (Mt. 10.2; Mr. 3.18; Lc. 6.14). His practical faith is evidenced in Jn. 6.8–9; 12.21–22. He was one of those who asked about the judgment that would come to Jerusalem (Mr. 13.3-4). He is mentioned for the last time among the apostles who were together after the ascension (Acts 1.13).
It is probable that he was crucified in Achaia. The Synoptic Gospels make little reference to him, but in John he appears as the first local missionary (1.42) and the first foreign missionary (12.21–22). As to the former, William Temple wrote thus: “It is perhaps one of the greatest services that any man has ever done to the Church” (Readings in St John’s Gospel, pp. 29).
