- Matthew 4:18
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
Commentary on Matthew 4:181 voice
By this that they left their occupation and their father's house we are taught, that when we would follow Christ we should not be holden of the cares of secular life, or of the society of the paternal mansion. Or, the number that was to be of the Evangelists is figured.
Hilary of Poitiers· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 367Patristic
- Matthew 4:19
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
Commentary on Matthew 4:192 voices
(Ver. 19, 20.) Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. And immediately they left their nets and followed him. These first ones were called to follow the Lord: fishermen and unlettered men are sent to preach, lest the faith of believers be thought to come about not by the power of God, but by eloquence and teaching.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
By this that they left their occupation and their father's house we are taught, that when we would follow Christ we should not be holden of the cares of secular life, or of the society of the paternal mansion. Or, the number that was to be of the Evangelists is figured.
Hilary of Poitiers· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 367Patristic
- Matthew 10:2
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
Commentary on Matthew 10:21 voice
A catalogue of the names of the Apostles is given, that all false Apostles might be excluded. The names of the twelve Apostles are these; First, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother. To arrange them in order according to their merit is His alone who searches the secrets of all hearts. But Simon is placed first, having the surname of Peter given to distinguish him from the other Simon surnamed Chananæus, from the village of Chana in Galilee where the Lord turned the water into wine. The Evangelist couples the names throughout in pairs.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
- Mark 1:16
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
Commentary on Mark 1:161 voice
And you yourself may realize the divine elements of this power, if you reflect on the nature and grandeur of a Being who could associate with Himself poor men of the lowly fisherman's class, and use them as agents in carrying through a work that transcends all reason.
Eusebius of Caesarea· The Proof of the Gospel, Book 3, 339Patristic
- Mark 3:18
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
Commentary on Mark 3:181 voice
(ubi sup.) But Thaddæus is the same person, as Luke calls in the Gospel and in the Acts, Jude of James, for he was the brother of James, the brother of the Lord, as he himself has written in his Epistle. There follows, And Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. He has added this by way of distinction from Simon Peter, and Jude the brother of James.
Bede· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 735Patristic
- Mark 13:3
While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,
Commentary on Mark 13:31 voice
(ubi sup.) Because the Lord, when some were praising the buildings of the temple, had plainly answered that all these were to be destroyed, the disciples privately enquired about the time and the signs of the destruction which was foretold; wherefore it is said: And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled.
Bede· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 735Patristic
- Mark 13:4
“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?”
Commentary on Mark 13:42 voices
(ubi sup.) Because the Lord, when some were praising the buildings of the temple, had plainly answered that all these were to be destroyed, the disciples privately enquired about the time and the signs of the destruction which was foretold; wherefore it is said: And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled.
Bede· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 735Patristic
Tell us when shall these things be?.... When the temple will be destroyed, and these fine buildings shall be demolished, and not one of these large stones shall be left upon another: and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And what is the sign of his coming, and of the end of the world, as Matthew relates; See Gill on Mat 24:3.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Luke 6:14
Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
Commentary on Luke 6:141 voice
Again, He changes the name of Simon to peter, inasmuch as the Creator also altered the names of Abram, and Sarai, and Oshea, by calling the latter Joshua, and adding a syllable to each of the former.
Tertullian· Against Marcion Book IV, 220Patristic
- John 1:40
Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
Commentary on John 1:401 voice
He says that one of those who followed him was Andrew, brother of Simon, without mentioning the other. Evidently this is the blessed John himself. He always appears to pass in silence over those things that concern him. And also whenever he relates something concerning …
Theodore of Mopsuestia· COMMENTARY ON JOHN 1.1.39-41, 428Patristic
- John 1:44
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
Commentary on John 1:441 voice
This gives us the situation of the disciples he called: for they were from Bethsaida. And this is appropriate to this mystery. For "Bethsaida" means "house of hunters," to show the attitude of Philip, Peter and Andrew at that time, and because it was fitting …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on John, 1274Patristic
- John 6:8
One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
Commentary on John 6:81 voice
Andrew is in the same perplexity that Philip is; only he has rather higher notions of our Lord: There is a lad here which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes. This passage confounds the Manicheans, who say that bread and all such things were created by an evil Deity. The Son of the good God, Jesus Christ, multiplied the loaves. Therefore they could not have been naturally evil; a good God would never have multiplied what was evil.
Theophylact of Ohrid· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 1107Patristic
- John 12:20–22
Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
Commentary on John 12:20–221 voice
Any one might be perplexed at these words and wonder with what motive certain of the Greeks should be going up to Jerusalem to worship, and this at the time when the feast was being celebrated according to the Law. For surely no one will say that they went up merely to look at the people there; certainly it was with the intention of participating in the feast which was suitable for Jews and Jews only, that they were journeying up in the company of the Jews.
Cyril of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 8, 444Patristic
- Acts 1:13
When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
