Matthew Poole and continuators on John 12:21

21 The same therefore came to Philip , which was of Bethsaida of Galilee , and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus .

If these Grecians (as is probable) were Syrophenicians, their Countrey was so near to Bethsaida of Galilee, which was Philips Town, that it is probable they might have som[illegible: 1 letter] knowledge of him, and that might bring them to him to be spokesman;

but it should seem, they came onely to satisfie their curiosity, for they ask for no more, than that they might see Jesus.
