John 12:22 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary

1 ) "Philip cometh and telleth Andrew," (erchetai ho Philippos kai legei to Andrea) "Philip then came and told Andrew," not taking the whole responsibility on himself, perhaps with some uncertainty regarding why they wanted to see Him. He went and conferred with Andrew, who also was one of the twelve apostles, Mat 10:2-3, and who stayed with Jesus through His ministry, Act 1:13; Act 1:21-22.

2) "And again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus." (erchetai Andreas kai Philippos kai legousin to lesous) "And Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus," reported to Him, gave Him their request. Andrew was also of Bethsaida, as well as Philip and Peter, Joh 1:44.
