“He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.”
The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, 'We have found the Messiah' (that is, the Christ) — Andrew's response demonstrates faith's communicative nature; discipleship naturally overflows into witness. The translation of "Messiah" as "Christ" (Christos, "anointed") clarifies terminology while maintaining the identity claim. "We have found" suggests that recognition comes through encounter, not prior assumption.
