You're going to have to read all of John 12 for direct info on this one, but to set up the scene, Jesus was at Lazarus, Mary, and Martha's house after Lazarus was raised from the dead. And, because Lazarus was raised, it was quite the scene with lots of people coming to see him and to see Dead Man Walking. Very crowded.
Crowded enough that some Greeks found Phillip to ask him if he could arrange it to see Jesus. And Phillip talked to Andrew about it, and then the both of them went to see Jesus and ask him.
In response, Jesus talked about "The hour has come," seeds falling to the ground to die, and then ... well. Read the chapter if you don't remember it. And do read it, because it's very cool that his Father answered audibly.
And then Jesus climbed a donkey colt to go into Jerusalem.
The Gospel of John was written years later, it's really not that long an account of Jesus, and clearly John was writing down all the things he thought were most important. Bigger still, what he wrote was inspired by God himself, so it's God's words.
To me, that says there was something important about those Greeks asking to see Jesus in the middle of that huge crowd. Soooo, what became of the Greeks? We really don't know, so the next question -- why is that in there? What purpose did it serve? Anyone ever contemplate that one enough to get an answer?
