John 1:11

11 He came to what was his own. But his own people did not accept him.

John 1:11 In-Context

9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

10 The Word was in the world that was made through him. But the world did not recognize him.

11 He came to what was his own. But his own people did not accept him.

12 Some people did accept him. They believed in his name. He gave them the right to become children of God.

13 To be a child of God has nothing to do with human parents. Children of God are not born because of human choice or because a husband wants them to be born. They are born because of what God does.
