A:In John's Gospel (verses 1:37-40), Andrew and another disciple left John the Baptist to follow Jesus. Andrew went to Peter's house to tell him about Jesus, and Peter then followed.

In the synoptic gospels, none of John's disciples left him to follow Jesus. Peter and Andrew were chosen by Jesus as he walked by the Sea of Galilee and saw them fishing.

A:In John's Gospel, and John's Gospel alone, Andrew and another unnamed disciple were disciples of John the Baptist and left to follow Jesus.

In the synoptic gospels, Andrew was a fisherman, not a disciple of John, and there is no mention of any of John's disciples leaving to follow Jesus.

The Gospels do not say how many people became St. John's disciples. It does mention that 2 of them went on to become 2 Of Christ's Apostles.

Who was the first person Jesus baptized?

I don't believe that this is recorded.In the King James versionJoh 3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.This is a very broad statement, and the next mention isJoh 4:1 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,So it seems that no-one was keeping records.Another answer:According to John's gospel, Jesus baptized no one.John 4:1-3 - Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. [NKJV]

How many disciples were there of Jesus?

First, Jesus called 12 deciples. But, after Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus and hung himself, the remaiming 11 disciples elected a new disciple, Matthias. As well as the 12, there were 72 others whom Jesus used to send out to the surrounding villagers to proclaim his coming. Add to these the women (Mary Magdalene, Mary and Martha of Bethany, Salome etc) and the many whom Jesus healed and taught who decided to follow him, and by the time of his death thousands were already followers.


Which apostle asked to see Jesus at the Last Supper?

The twelve apostles/disciples were all in attendance at the Last Supper. Judas left early to betray Jesus. So none of them asked to see Jesus. Now in John 14:8-10, Philip said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." Jesus said to him, " Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father..."etc. If this is not what you are asking please re- submit your question.


When did Andrew become an apostle?

AnswerIn Mark and Matthew, Jesus saw Peter and his brother Andrew together fishing, and called them to follow him. So, Andrew became an apostle at the same time as Peter, when Jesus began to preach. In Luke, Jesus met Simon Peter in his mother's house, but did not call him at that stage. Later, he helped some fishermen in a boat - James and John, sons of Zebedee, and Simon. Jesus told Simon that he would follow Jesus, so the three left their boat and followed Jesus. Apparently Andrew at some stage also joined Jesus, because when Jesus chose his twelve disciples, he included Andrew among them.In John's Gospel, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. John told him and another disciple to follow Jesus. Later, Andrew fetched his brother Simon, who joined the other disciples. Once again, Andrew was one of the first two disciples, although this time before his brother Simon Peter.
