Jn 12:20-33
“Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
Gospel's Commentary
Today, some Greeks who went up to Jerusalem want to see Jesus. The Lord was told so and answered: «The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Amen, amen, I say to you, if a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it produces much fruit». They did not expect such a reaction! They will see Jesus, but they will see Him on the Cross, lifted up from the earth, giving His life for the world. —«Then a voice came from heaven, I have glorified it and will glorify it again». The Father will support the Son, so that He may be lifted up and endure the Cross for love. This is His hour!
