John 12:22

Philip came and told Andrew, and they both went together and told Jesus.
[At Jesus' birth, wise men came from the east, and now before his death, "wise" Greeks come from the west. This event suggests once again that even non-Jude, now excluded from the temple, will soon be allowed to worship, see John 10:16. The fact that these Greeks come to Philip in particular may be because he, like Andrew, has a Greek name. The mention of their hometown Bethsaida, see John 1:44, is also a point of contact. The city borders the non-Jewish area Decapolis east of Galilee on the non-Jewish side of the Sea of Galilee. These two disciples were familiar with Greek culture and speaking with Greeks. It seems that Philip and Andrew left the Greeks there and went to Jesus with their question. Jesus may have been inside the wall that separated the Gentiles from the outer parts of the temple area, see Acts 21:28. The text does not answer whether the Greeks personally met Jesus there and then, but we know that at the end of Jesus' answer he says that when he rises, he will draw all people to himself, see John 12:32, i.e. that the gospel is for everyone.]
