In the Temple Jesus began teaching again and while he spoke some Greeks came to see him.
Philip: Andrew?
Andrew: Shh – I’m listening – Jesus is talking about seeds…
Philip: He’s always talking about seeds, I’ve got some people who want to see him. Some Greeks.
Andrew: Well, there he is – point him out.
Philip: No – they want to meet him!
Andrew: Well, there he is…
Philip: But you’re good at that – not me.
Andrew: Good at what?
Philip: Taking people to meet Jesus. You do it all the time.
Andrew: Are you joking?
Philip: No! You’re always taking people to meet him – that boy at the feeding of the 5000 – your own brother – now these Greeks… Andrew: I haven’t taken the Greeks yet!
Philip: No, but you will won’t you?
Andrew: It’s not that hard Philip.
Philip: It is! It might not be for you – but well, you never know what they might say about him or to him. You know. It might be embarrassing. They might just want to insult him. Or worse!
