No. John the Baptist was dead by then. John the Evangelist, son of Zebedee and disciple of Jesus was at the Last Supper.

Why did Jesus chose Andrew as a Disciple?

A:In the synoptic gospels, Jesus found Andrew and Peter together on their fishing boat and called them to follow him. However, in John's Gospel, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. He left John to follow Jesus and, on the way, went to bring Peter and they both followed Jesus.


How did Saint Andrew know Jesus?

St. Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist and came to know Jesus through him.


Why did Simon Peter follow Jesus?

Simon Peter was originally a disciple of John who told him that Jesus was the lamb of God. After this, Peter faithfully began to believe and follow him.


How did Saint Andrew become a follower of Jesus?

The explanation as to how Andrew joined Jesus differs according to which gospel we read.Matthew and Mark say that Jesus walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and saw Simon and Andrew fishing. He called them to be his disciples.Luke does not really say how Andrew became a disciple, but apparently it was not when Jesus called Simon Peter to become a disciple, since Peter, James and John were fishing from a boat when Jesus called the three to be his disciples. Andrew is mentioned later.John's Gospel differs completely from the others. In this, Andrew was not a fisherman but a disciple of John the Baptist. When John pointed Jesus out to two of his disciples, one of whom was Andrew, they left John and followed Jesus. A theme of this gospel is to minimise the significance of Peter in the early Christian movement, and the Johannine account means that Peter was not the first apostle to follow Jesus.


When did Saint Andrew meet Jesus?

A:In the synoptic gospels, Jesus met the brothers Peter and Andrew while they were fishing by the Sea of Galilee, soon after he returned from the forty days in the wilderness (Mark 1:16-18).In John's Gospel, Andrew was with John the Baptist and another disciple of John the Baptist, when Jesus returned on the day after his baptism. John said, "Behold the lamb of God," and Andrew followed Jesus (John 1:37). In this account, Jesus did not meet Peter until Andrew ran and fetched him.

Was John the Baptist a disciple or an apostle?

Neither, John the baptist was a prophet. He was the cousin of Jesus.

He is indicated in the Bible as the forerunner of Jesus. See Matthew 3:1ff, Mark 1:1ff, Luke 1:ff, Luke 3:1ff, John 1:19ff for biblical references to John the baptist.
