Commentary on John 12:23
Theological / DevotionalAnswered them. The words were rather a response to the situation suggested by the visit of the Greeks than a direct answer to them.
The hour is come. Earlier Jesus had announced that His hour had not yet come (see chs. 2:4; 7:30; 8:20; see on ch. 2:4). Now, however, the hour of His death was near. It was only four days, inclusive, until the crucifixion. The visit of the Greeks doubtless suggested to Jesus what would be the result of His death, namely, the conversion of many from the Gentile nations.
