On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The forbidding of the priests to accept of any oblation or sacrifice from a Gentile (which was done by Eleazar the son of Ananias, the high priest), Josephus says, was one of those things that brought the Romans upon them, War 2. Though these Greeks, if uncircumcised, were not admitted to eat the passover, yet they came to worship at the feast.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Greeks--Not Grecian Jews, but Greek proselytes to the Jewish faith, who were wont to attend the annual festivals, particularly this primary one, the Passover.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Certain Greeks - A prelude of the Gentile Church. That these were circumcised does not appear. But they came up on purpose to worship the God of Israel.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
