John 12:20-23
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. 23 But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.
Those who were not Jews, God's people, wanted to talk with Jesus and asked His followers to see the men. But Jesus pointed beyond just seeing or speaking to the fact that He was about to be glorified in the torture, ridicule, death, burial, and resurrection. But even the disciples only vaguely knew what Jesus meant. The hour had come and Jesus had said most of what He came to tell the world. Now it was time to come and see Jesus glorified.
