One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
      I. Andrew and another with him were the two that John Baptist had directed to Christ, John 1:37; John 1:37. Who the other was we are not told; some think that it was Thomas, comparing John 21:2; John 21:2; others that it was John himself, the penman of this gospel, whose manner it is industriously to conceal his name, John 13:23; John 20:3.
