DESCRIPTION:Most biographical notes on this Apostle begin “Andrew was Sim
 on Peter’s brother\,” and he is so described in the Gospels. Identifyi
 ng Andrew as Peter’s brother makes it easy to know who he is\, but it al
 so makes it easy to overlook the fact of Andrew’s own special gift to th
 e company of Christ. The Gospel according to John tells how Andrew\, a dis
 ciple of John the Baptist\, was one of two disciples who followed Jesus af
 ter John had pointed him out\, saying\, “Behold the Lamb of God” (John
  1:29). Andrew and the other disciple went with Jesus and stayed with him\
 , and Andrew’s first act afterward was to find his brother and bring him
  to Jesus. We might call Andrew the first missionary in the company of dis
 ciples. Though Andrew was not a part of the inner circle of disciples (Pet
 er\, James\, and John)\, he is always named in the list of disciples\, and
  the Gospel of Matthew records Jesus’ calling them from their occupation
 \, and their immediate response to his call. Andrew was also the disciple 
 who brought the boy with the loaves and fishes to Jesus for the feeding of
  the multitude. We hear little of Andrew as a prominent leader\, and he se
 ems always to be in the shadow of Peter. Eusebius\, the early church histo
 rian\, records his going to Scythia\, but there is no reliable information
  about the end of his life. Tradition has it that he was fastened to an X-
 shaped cross and suffered death at the hands of angry pagans. Andrew is th
 e patron saint of Scotland.\n\n
