John 12:23 Context
21The same came therefore to Philip which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Iesus. 22Philip commeth and telleth Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philip told Iesus. 23¶ And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man should be glorified. 24Uerely, verely, I say vnto you, Except a corne of wheat fall into the ground, and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25He that loueth his life, shall lose it: and hee that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall.

Joh 12:23 The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. The answer of Christ may have been to Philip and Andrew, and the Greeks may have heard and understood it. The substance is that the time of his glorification had come and that glorification would draw all men, Greek, Gentiles as well as Jews, to him.
