Andrew is named as one of the two disciples; but who is the other? Commonly he has been thought of as the Beloved Disciple, and this may be right—but not his identification with John, the son of Zebedee (see above, pp. lxx–lxxi). A plausible alternative is Philip, a guess supported by the conjunction of Andrew and Philip elsewhere in the Gospel (6:58; 12:21–22, see A. B. Hulen, 151–53; Schnackenburg’s acceptance of this view led him to regard v 43 as an addition of the redactor, 1:310). Andrew finds his brother, who is referred to first as Simon Peter, as in all the Greek-speaking churches; then as Simon, his given name; finally it is reported how he came to be known as Kepha, “Rock.” Since knowledge of these early disciples is clearly assumed, we may view v 42 as recording the source of Simon’s new name, not the time when it was given. Its inclusion here may suggest that the Evangelist saw in the call of the first disciples an anticipation of the formation of the later Church (Schnackenburg, 1:313).
