From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Andrew
     manliness, a Greek name; one of the apostles of our Lord. He was
     of Bethsaida in Galilee (John 1:44), and was the brother of
     Simon Peter (Matt. 4:18; 10:2). On one occasion John the
     Baptist, whose disciple he then was, pointing to Jesus, said,
     "Behold the Lamb of God" (John 1:40); and Andrew, hearing him,
     immediately became a follower of Jesus, the first of his
     disciples. After he had been led to recognize Jesus as the
     Messiah, his first care was to bring also his brother Simon to
     Jesus. The two brothers seem to have after this pursued for a
     while their usual calling as fishermen, and did not become the
     stated attendants of the Lord till after John's imprisonment
     (Matt. 4:18, 19; Mark 1:16, 17). Very little is related of
     Andrew. He was one of the confidential disciples (John 6:8;
     12:22), and with Peter, James, and John inquired of our Lord
     privately regarding his future coming (Mark 13:3). He was
     present at the feeding of the five thousand (John 6:9), and he
     introduced the Greeks who desired to see Jesus (John 12:22); but
     of his subsequent history little is known. It is noteworthy that
     Andrew thrice brings others to Christ, (1) Peter; (2) the lad
     with the loaves; and (3) certain Greeks. These incidents may be
     regarded as a key to his character.
