Difference between revisions of "Andrew"

<p> '''Andrew''' (''Ăn'Dru'' ), ''Manly.'' One of the apostles, the brother—whether older or younger is not known—of Simon Peter, with whom it would seem he lived. &nbsp;Mark 1:29. He was of Bethsaida, and became one of the disciples of John the Baptist, at whose word he followed Jesus, and afterwards brought his brother Simon. &nbsp;John 1:40-44. The order in which Andrew is named varies in different places; but generally he stands next after the three chiefs, and is associated with Philip. There are but a few scattered notices of him in the evangelic history. &nbsp;Mark 13:3; &nbsp;John 6:8-9; &nbsp;John 12:22. After the resurrection he is enumerated with the rest of the eleven (&nbsp;Acts 1:13); and then we hear no more of mm. Tradition has been busy with his later history; and he is said to have been crucified at Patræ in Achaia, on a cross formed like the letter X, which has hence been called "St. Andrew's Cross." </p>
