John 12:20 Douay-Rheims

Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

Gentiles … came up to adore. These either were proselytes who had been Gentiles, and now had embraced the Jewish law: or they were such among the Gentiles, who owned and served the one true God, as Cornelius did, (Acts, chap. x.) but did not submit themselves to circumcision, and all the other Jewish rites and ceremonies. These could only enter into that part of the temple, called the court of the Gentiles. (Witham)
