Commentaries identify Andrew as Simon Peter's brother, one of the first disciples to follow Jesus, and a former disciple of John the Baptist. Scholars note that his great distinction was bringing his more famous brother to Christ. Here, he again acts as a connector, bringing a small resource to Jesus's attention.
