John 1:35–42: John's Disciples Follow Jesus
John the Baptist pointed two of his own disciples toward Jesus, and they left him to follow. The passage names Andrew and leaves the second disciple unnamed, then shows how Andrew brought his brother Simon to Jesus.
What Does the Name Andrew Mean in John 1:40–41?
Scripture never explains what the name Andrew means. What John 1:40–41 does give is sharper: a man defined by whose brother he was and by the brother he brought to Jesus.
