The disciples must have been feeling a little low based on what they learned in the previous chapter. Jesus continues to speak using some of the best loved words recorded. He spoke concerning:
v1-4 the Father’s house
v5-7 the Way, the Truth and the Life
v8-21 the Comforter
v22-31 the necessity of what He would soon do.

v21-30 Judas is identified to betray Him

The supper at Bethany was likely the turning point for Judas’ decision to betray Jesus. Jesus rebuked him for being upset about the use of the perfume.
It is not mentioned what the Greeks wanted to talk with Jesus about. Interesting that Jesus’ own people did not believe on Him yet the Greeks traveled great distances to accept and learn from Him.
v1-8 Supper at Bethany
v9-19 The Triumphal Entry
v20-36 The Greeks to see Jesus
v37-43 Unbelief
v44-50 Jesus’ last message in the temple

One of the most cherished Christian metaphors is Jesus the Shepherd. This metaphor serves the dual role to identify Christ as God in the flesh and the son of David (The shepherd king.)

v1-21 Our Shepherd
v22-39 Feast of the Dedication
v40-42 Beyond Jordan
