I think the Greeks that came to "worship" must have been Jews from Greece who came for the Passover. I like the fact that they asked to "see Jesus" and their answer was that "the Son of Man is to be glorified". This followed with the grain of wheat shows that to see the reality of Jesus required a glorification. Sort of like seeing and identifying a small flower seed by seeing the blossom it produces. Jesus was a seed. So are we, that's why we need to fall into the ground and die, with Him, also (verse 25), by serving him (verse 26) instead of loving and serving ourselves.
