Andrew the Apostle (Koinē Greek: Ἀνδρέας, romanized: Andréas[anˈdre.aːs̠]; Latin: Andreas[än̪ˈd̪reː.äːs]; Aramaic: אַנדּרֵאוָס; Classical Syriac: ܐܰܢܕ݁ܪܶܐܘܳܣ, romanized: ʾAnd'reʾwās[5]), also called Saint Andrew, was an apostle of Jesus. According to the New Testament, he was a fisherman and one of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus. The title First-Called (Πρωτόκλητος, Prōtoklētos) stems from the Gospel of John, where Andrew, initially a disciple of John the Baptist, follows Jesus and, recognizing him as the Messiah, introduces his brother Simon Peter to him.[6]
According to Eastern Orthodox tradition, the apostolic successor to Andrew is the Patriarch of Constantinople.[7]
