This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
his own - “His own” (property or possession), for the word is in the neuter gender. It means His own land, city, temple, Messianic rights and possessions.
and his own - “His own (people)”; for now the word is masculine. It means the Jews, as the “peculiar people.” Both they and their land, with all that this included, were “HIS OWN,” not so much as part of “the world which was made by Him,” but as “THE HEIR” of the inheritance (Luk 20:14; see also on Mat 22:1).
received him not - nationally, as God’s chosen witnesses.
