John 1:11

11 He came to his own, ^[a] and his own received him not;

John 1:11 In-Context

9 The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.

10 He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came to his own, and his own received him not;

12 but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;

13 who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.
