He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. |
He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. |
He came to His own (or, own things, possessions, domain), and those who were His own did not receive Him. |
He came to that which was His own, but his own did not receive Him. |
He came to that which belonged to Him [to His own – His domain, creation, things, world], and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him. |
Into the midst of His own possessions He came, and His uniquely-owned people did not take Him to themselves. |
He came into His own world, and His own people would not accept Him, |
He came into His own world, but His own people did not welcome Him. |
