Matthew Poole and continuators on John 1:11

11 He came unto his own , and his own received him not .

Christ came into the World, which being made by him, was in the most proper sense his own; or, to the Israelites, which were as his own House, Land and Possession, Psal. 85.1. Iohn 16.32. The Greek word is in the Plural Number, and used in the places before mentioned, as also Acts 21.6. Sometimes signifying mens proper Country, sometimes their proper house. But it is a farther question, what coming is here spoken of; tho' it be generally (or by many at least) interpreted of Christs coming by his Incarnation, yet that seemeth not to be the sense; partly, because that coming is spoken of, v. 14. And partly, because in that sense the Iews did receive him; nor was it in their power to hinder his manifestation in the flesh. The coming therefore here mentioned, seemeth to be intended of his coming by his Prophets, Iohn the Baptist, and his own personal Preaching of the Gospel.

Whom in this way of coming, they did not receive, believing neither the Testimony given by his Prophets, nor by the Baptist, nor by himself, Iohn 5.43.
