Gentiles ask to see Jesus

[Tuesday in Holy Week]

Saint John - Chapter 12

Sir, we would see Jesus.. J-J Tissot

[20] Erant autem quidam gentiles, ex his qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo.
Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.

[21] Hi ergo accesserunt ad Philippum, qui erat a Bethsaida Galilaeae, et rogabant eum, dicentes : Domine, volumus Jesum videre.
These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.

[22] Venit Philippus, et dicit Andreae; Andreas rursum et Philippus dixerunt Jesu.
Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

[23] Jesus autem respondit eis, dicens : Venit hora, ut clarificetur Filius hominis.
But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

[24] Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit,
Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
