Best Answer

Andrew (Simon Peter's brother) was originally a follower of John the Baptist (John 1:35-41). Presumably the other disciple of John the Baptist mentioned in John 1:35 was John (the disciple whom Jesus loved) who is never explicitly named in the John's gospel.

The following passages have direct references to disciples of John the Baptist:

  • Matthew 9:14
  • Matthew 11:2
  • Acts 19:1-3
  • Acts 18:24-26 (Apollos)

The Mandaeans, a small sect of which only about 20,000 followers remain in southern Iraq and in a worldwide diaspora, are followers of John the Baptist, who they believe to have founded their religion. They believe that Jesus was originally a disciple of John the Baptist.

The first cousin of Jesus, John, paved the way for Jesus. He baptised Him and foretold of his coming. Several of Johns' followers started to follow the christened one at Johns' announcement of Christs' identity.

The only disciple of John the Baptist who is positively identified by name in Scripture was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, who became one of Jesus' apostles. See John 1:35-40.

If you're asking the question, you probably are not, you should be aware of what you are following.

In Christianity John the Baptist is mentioned as he baptised Jesus - so a christian would in basic theory follow John . However, Amongst the 25 Prophets mentioned by God in the Quran, one name is Prophet John . It is assumed that too refers to "John The Baptist". so this is a link

In John's Gospel, and John's Gospel alone, Andrew and another unnamed disciple were disciples of John the Baptist. In the synoptic gospels, Andrew was a fisherman.

(John 1:35, 40)
