John

John 12:19–22

19Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”

20Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast. 21They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” 22Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
