Exegesis
Andreas {Ἀνδρέας | An-dré-as} stands in apposition to this noun phrase, further specified by the appositive ho adelphos Simōnos Petrou {ὁ ἀδελφὸς Σίμωνος Πέτρου | ho a-del-phós Sí-mō-nos Pé-trou}, where two genitives, Simōnos and Petrou, combine to express “Simon Peter” while maintaining the genitival relationship “brother of.” Syntactically, Greek delays the explicit subject name until after the partitive phrase, creating a slight suspense that highlights Andrew’s identity both as disciple and as Simon Peter’s brother. In English, the verb is placed later in the clause (“said to Him,” “spoke to Him”) to align with standard subject–verb–object order while still preserving the prominence of Andrew’s role and his relationship to the core disciple circle.
In context — John 6:8
