John 12:23

ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτοῖς, “Jesus answers them,” i.e., the two disciples, but probably the Greeks had come with them and heard the words: Ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὧρα ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. ἔρχεται ὧρα is followed by ὅτε in John 4:21; John 5:25, and by ἐν ᾗ in John 5:28. Burton calls it “the complementary” use of ἵνα. “The hour is come that the Son of Man should be glorified.” Directly the glorification of the Son of Man or Messiah consisted in His being acknowledged by men; and this earnest inquiry of the Greeks was the evidence that His claims were being considered beyond the circle of the Jewish people.
