Commentary on John 12:22

Theological / Devotional

Telleth Andrew. Both Philip and Andrew bore Greek names, and their Hellenistic ancestry may account for their part in the present incident. The reason why Philip consulted Andrew is not given, but he apparently sought Andrew’s advice in presenting to Jesus the case of the inquiring Greeks (see on ch. 6:8). In the narrative of the Feeding of the Five Thousand (ch. 6:1-14) Andrew reflects a more practical turn of mind than Philip, who is there shown to be not only cautious but slow of heart to believe.
