“He came unto his own, and his own received him not.”
John 1:11 · KJV
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: power: or, the right, or, privilege
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
