John 12:20-33And there came certain Greeks;…the same came therefore to Philip … saying, Sir, we would see JesusThe incident and its significanceThese Greeks belonged to those numerous Gentiles who, like the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:1-40) had embraced Judaism and came to Jerusalem to keep its festivals.They must be carefully distinguished from the Jews (Hellenists) speaking the Greek language, who dwelt in heathen lands.

John 12:24-26Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and dieA corn of wheatThe original word is not sperma, a seed, but kokkos, a berry, a fruit.It shows the extreme, even scientific, accuracy of our Saviour’s language; for the corn of wheat, and other cereal grains, consist of seeds incorporated with seed vessels, and are in reality fruits, though they appear like seeds. It is not the bare seed that falls into the ground, and, by dying, yields much fruit, but the corn of wheat--the whole... read more
