Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ἀνήρ (anēr), meaning "man" or "manly."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Ἀνδρέας, as it is a Hellenistic name. However, the concept of "manliness" or "strength" can be related to Hebrew words such as גֶּבֶר (geber, Strong's Hebrew 1397), meaning "man" or "strong man."

Usage: The name Ἀνδρέας is used in the New Testament to refer to Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and the brother of Simon Peter.

Context: Andrew, known as Ἀνδρέας in Greek, is a significant figure in the New Testament. He was a native of Bethsaida in Galilee and the brother of Simon Peter. Both were fishermen by trade before being called to follow Jesus. Andrew is often recognized for his role in bringing others to Christ, including his brother Peter.

In the Gospel of John, Andrew is depicted as a disciple of John the Baptist who, upon hearing John's testimony about Jesus, immediately followed Christ (John 1:40-42, BSB). He is also noted for bringing the boy with five loaves and two fish to Jesus, which led to the miraculous feeding of the five thousand (John 6:8-9, BSB).

Andrew's name appears in the lists of apostles in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts (Matthew 10:2, Mark 3:18, Luke 6:14, Acts 1:13, BSB). He is often mentioned alongside Peter, James, and John, indicating his prominence among the disciples. Despite this, Andrew is not as frequently highlighted in the narrative as some of the other apostles.

Tradition holds that Andrew preached the Gospel in various regions after Pentecost, including Scythia, Greece, and Asia Minor. He is believed to have been martyred by crucifixion in Patras, Greece, on an X-shaped cross, which is now known as "St. Andrew's Cross."
