Thanks, I have another sentence like this

John called Sam to give the code to the safe.

Who is giving the code? John or Sam?
How would I have to write it if I wanted Sam to give John the code?

Thank you and Merry Christmas

As you know, the original sentence is vague. John called Sam to give him the code to the safe (John knows it, and Sam doesn't). John called Sam to get the code to the safe (Sam knows it, but John doesn't).
Joyeux Noël.
