Jean 12:22 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:22

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew
The request the Greeks made to him, and this he did, that he might have his advice in this matter; and that not only because he might be a senior man as well as apostle, but because he was of the same town, and might know these men as well as Philip:

and again, Andrew and Philip told Jesus;
after they had consulted together, whether it was proper or not, to move this thing to their master; since he had forbid them going in the way of the Gentiles, they agreed to acquaint him with it, that he might do his pleasure.

Jean 12:22 In-Context

20 Quelques Grecs, du nombre de ceux qui étaient montés pour adorer pendant la fête,

21 s'adressèrent à Philippe, de Bethsaïda en Galilée, et lui dirent avec instance: Seigneur, nous voudrions voir Jésus.

22 Philippe alla le dire à André, puis André et Philippe le dirent à Jésus.

23 Jésus leur répondit: L'heure est venue où le Fils de l'homme doit être glorifié.

24 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, si le grain de blé qui est tombé en terre ne meurt, il reste seul; mais, s'il meurt, il porte beaucoup de fruit.
