Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 12:22 In-Context

20 Or fra quelli che salivano alla festa per adorare, v’erano certi Greci.

21 Questi dunque, accostatisi a Filippo, che era di Betsaida di Galilea, gli fecero questa richiesta: Signore, vorremmo veder Gesù.

22 Filippo lo venne a dire ad Andrea; e Andrea e Filippo vennero a dirlo a Gesù.

23 E Gesù rispose loro dicendo: L’ora è venuta, che il Figliuol dell’uomo ha da esser glorificato.

24 In verità, in verità io vi dico che se il granello di frumento caduto in terra non muore, riman solo; ma se muore, produce molto frutto.
