An'drew. (manly). One of the apostles of our Lord, John 1:40; Matthew 4:18, brother of Simon Peter. He was of Bethsaida, and had been a disciple of John the Baptist, leaving him to follow our Lord. By his means, his brother Simon was brought to Jesus. John 1:41.

His place among the apostles seems to have been fourth, next after the three; Peter, James and John, and in company with Philip. Mark 3:18; Acts 1:13. The traditions about him are various. He is said to have preached in Scythia, in Greece, in Asia Minor and Thrace, and to have been crucified at Patrae in Achaia.
