Andrew, Peter’s brother, was a fisherman from Beit Saida on the shores of Lake Tiberias. He had come to the Baptist for repentance from sin, and to await the Messiah’s coming. Andrew accepted the witness of the Baptist, and followed Jesus. His heart was filled with joy; he was unable to keep his discovery to himself, but sought his brother first, rather than strangers.
Andrea nduguye Petro alikuwa mvuvi kutoka Bethsaida, mji wa ufuoni mwa ziwa Tiberia. Alikuja kwa Mbatizaji, ili atubu dhambi zake na angojee kuja kwa Masihi. Anderea alikubali ushuhuda wa Mbatizaji, ndipo akamfuata Yesu. Moyo wake ulijaa na furaha, alishindwa kuhifadhi alichoona ndani yake tu, lakini akamtafuta nduguye kwanza kuliko wageni.
