The Gospel of John states that Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, whose testimony first led him, and another unnamed disciple of John the Baptist, to follow Jesus. [20] Andrew at once recognized Jesus as the Messiah, and hastened to introduce him to his brother. [21]
Another explanation is that some of the disciples may have heard of Jesus beforehand, as implied by the Gospel of John, which states that Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, and that he and his brother started following Jesus as soon as Jesus had been baptized.

The name "Acts of the Apostles" was first used by Irenaeus in the late 2nd century. It is not known whether this was an existing name for the book or one invented by Irenaeus; it does seem clear that it was not given by the author, as the word práxeis (deeds, acts) only appears once in the text (Acts 19:18) and there it refers not to the apostles but to deeds confessed by their followers.

In a separate text known by the name of the Acts of Andrew and Matthias, which was edited by Max Bonnet in 1898 [5] and translated by M.R. James, [6] Matthias is portrayed as a captive in a country of anthropophagi (literally 'man-eaters', i.e. cannibals) and is rescued by Andrew and Jesus; it is no longer considered to be a portion of the text ...

His disciples told him Jesus was successful; John endorsed Jesus as his superior and the Son of God. Jesus heard the rumour he was more successful than John. Jewish Antiquities ...
