TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:20 Among the people drawn to Jesus (12:19) were some Greeks, God-fearing Gentiles who had come to Passover to worship. Jesus’ mission was not simply to Israel but encompassed the entire world (10:16; 11:52). Following Jesus’ resurrection, the church’s mission was to go beyond Judea to Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth (Matt 28:19; Acts 1:8).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

δὲ Ἕλληνές τινες

and Greeks some

This phrase marks the introduction of certain Greeks as new characters in the story. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new character.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἕλληνές

Greeks

Here, the term Greeks refers to non-Jewish people who lived in the Roman Empire. It does not refer only to people from the country of Greece or to people who speak the Greek language. (See: greek) If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “Gentiles” or “non-Jews”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ἀναβαινόντων

the_‹ones› going_up

The phrase going up is used specifically for the act of going to Jerusalem, which is a city at a higher elevation than the area around it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “those going up to Jerusalem”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἵνα προσκυνήσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ

in_order_that ˱they˲_/may/_prostrate at the feast

John is leaving out a word that some languages would need in order a clause to be complete. If you language requires an object for the verb worship, you can supply it from the context. Alternate translation: “to worship God at the festival”

τῇ ἑορτῇ

the feast

This refers to the Jewish Passover festival. See how you translated this word in 12:12.
