Fifth Sunday of Lent (Year B) John 12:20-33 an extraordinary request sir we wish to see jesus. You can use it as a sunday homily or reflection on John 12:20-33 for the 5th sunday of lent (Year b). It's the extraordinary request in the entire Gospel "Sir; we wish to see Jesus." 5th sunday of lent homily, The Greeks who came to Jerusalem for the Passover festival find Philip and express their wish to see Jesus. But why are the Greeks asking to see Jesus? Yes, Jesus has become popular. Let's talk about Jesus' response later in the video.

Why did the Greeks wish to see Jesus?
Before this event, Jesus raises Lazarus from death, which caused the religious authorities to plot Jesus' death. Later, we see Mary anointing Jesus at Lazarus's home. The religious leaders were plotting to kill even Lazarus and Jesus as many Jews believed in Jesus. It's feeling powerlessness in the presence of a charismatic figure that threatens their status quo. The Greeks wishing to see Jesus is another sign that Jesus' popularity increased after Lazarus was brought back to life. But it's this miracle that will also lead to Jesus' death.

An essential reference to the Greeks
The Greeks' visit illustrates the truth of the Pharisees' statement: Look, the world has gone after him. The visit prompts Jesus to acknowledge that his hour has come. And announce that when he is lifted up, he will draw all people to himself. John does not tell us that the Greeks got to see Jesus.
