12:20-22 Who are Philip and Andrew?
They are two of the twelve apostles. Philip is Bartholomew / Nathaniel's brother (CP Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lu 6:14; Jn 1:43-45).
Andrew is Peter's brother (CP Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lu 6:14; Jn 1:40). In Jn 12:30, God spoke to Jesus in an audible voice so these Greeks could hear and confirm their faith in Christ (CP Jn 12:28-30).
God's name was glorified by Jesus when the devil could not tempt Jesus during His forty days in the wilderness (CP Mt 4:1-11; Mk 1:9-13; Lu 4:11-13).
God's name would again be glorified when Jesus defeated Satan at the cross (CP Jn 13:31 with Col 2:14-17).
