📜 Complete Scriptural Narrative

Originally a disciple of John the Baptist from Bethsaida who followed Jesus when John declared 'Behold, the Lamb of God!' (John 1:35–40), Andrew immediately found his brother Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus (John 1:41–42). Partnering in the Galilean fishing fleet alongside Peter, James, and John (Mark 1:16–20), he was in the boat when the violent windstorm swept down on the Sea of Galilee and marveled when Jesus calmed the waves with a word (Mark 4:35–41).
