According to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee and saw Simon and his brother Andrew fishing. He called Simon Peter and Andrew to follow him. (Mark 1:15-16)

According to John's Gospel, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. He left John, to follow Jesus and, on the way, ran to bring Peter and they both followed Jesus (John 1:40-42).
