8 One of His disciples, aAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, abut what are they among so many?”
10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

Simon Peter's brother (o adelfov Simwnov Petrou). So described in John 1:40. The great distinction of Andrew was precisely this that he brought Simon to Christ. Philip and Andrew appear together again in John 12:20-22, but in the Synoptics he is distinguished only in Mark 13:3. In the Muratorian Fragment Andrew received the revelation for John to write the Fourth Gospel.
