3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Andrew
   manliness, a Greek name; one of the apostles of our Lord. He was
   of Bethsaida in Galilee (John 1:44), and was the brother of
   Simon Peter (Matt. 4:18; 10:2). On one occasion John the
   Baptist, whose disciple he then was, pointing to Jesus, said,
   "Behold the Lamb of God" (John 1:40); and Andrew, hearing him,
   immediately became a follower of Jesus, the first of his
   disciples. After he had been led to recognize Jesus as the
   Messiah, his first care was to bring also his brother Simon to
   Jesus. The two brothers seem to have after this pursued for a
   while their usual calling as fishermen, and did not become the
   stated attendants of the Lord till after John's imprisonment
   (Matt. 4:18, 19; Mark 1:16, 17). Very little is related of
   Andrew. He was one of the confidential disciples (John 6:8;
   12:22), and with Peter, James, and John inquired of our Lord
   privately regarding his future coming (Mark 13:3). He was
   present at the feeding of the five thousand (John 6:9), and he
   introduced the Greeks who desired to see Jesus (John 12:22); but
   of his subsequent history little is known. It is noteworthy that
   Andrew thrice brings others to Christ, (1) Peter; (2) the lad
   with the loaves; and (3) certain Greeks. These incidents may be
   regarded as a key to his character.
