Andrew was one of the original twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was the brother of Simon Peter and is first mentioned as a disciple of John the Baptist.
In John 1:35-42 we find Andrew with John the Baptist and another disciples when John declared Jesus to be the "Lamb of God" signifying that He was the Messiah.
As soon as Andrew believed that Jesus was the awaited 0ne, he ran to find his brother and upon finding Peter proclaimed, "we have found the Messiah" (see John 1:41.)
There are few mentions of Andrew in the New Testament. He was overshadowed by his brother Peter. But from the information about both he and his brother, we do know a few things about Andrew.
