John 1:11

11 He went to his own people, and his own people didn't accept him.

John 1:11 In-Context

9 The real light, which shines on everyone, was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him. Yet, the world didn't recognize him.

11 He went to his own people, and his own people didn't accept him.

12 However, he gave the right to become God's children to everyone who believed in him.

13 These people didn't become God's children in a physical way--from a human impulse or from a husband's desire [to have a child]. They were born from God.
