+#REDIRECT [[Andrew the Apostle]]
-Andrew lived in Bethsaida of Galilee. (John 1:44) His brother was Peter, (Matthew 4:18) another of Jesus' twelve disciples, and his father was Jona, or John. (John 1:42) Andrew spent his early years as a fishermen on the Sea of Galilee, but when he heard of John the Baptist, he traveled with a band of his countrymen to Bethany, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. (John 1:28) There, he heard John speak about Jesus, and there, Andrew "followed Him." (John 1:40) He then went to his brother and saying, "We have found the Messiah" Andrew went with Simon to Christ. (John 1:41,42)
-After this event, Andrew returned to Galilee with Simon, and they resumed their positions as fishermen. There, Jesus found them again and, after telling them He would "make them become fisher's of men," (Mark 1:17) Andrew and Simon dropped their nets and followed Jesus.
-No one knows how Andrew died, as it isn't recorded in the Bible or any other book.
