John 1:11 (KJV)
Commentary on John 1:11
The rejection narrows from world to 'his own' (ta idia)—His own property, His own people Israel. The Jewish nation, prepared through centuries of revelation, prophecy, and covenant relationship, 'received him not' (ou parelabon). The verb 'paralambano' means to take, receive, or accept—Israel refused to welcome their own Messiah. This is the supreme tragedy of the incarnation: those most prepared to recognize Him proved most resistant. Familiarity bred contempt; religious pride blinded eyes that should have seen.
