Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 12:22

"Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus." — John 12:22 (ASV)

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

Andrew and Philip appear to have been staunch friends and fellow-labourers; and it is always well when Christian men can work for Christ with congenial companions. My poor perplexed brother, if you cannot get to Jesus Christ by yourself, it will be a good thing for you to say to some Philip, Sir, I would see Jesus.

Perhaps Philip will tell his friend Andrew, and then Philip and Andrew will go together, and tell Jesus, and so you will get to him.

It is a great help in prayer, when you are yourself unable to pray, to get someone, whom you know to be a Christian, and who has sympathy with you, to come and pray with you.
