What the Bible says about Jesus Christ, Rejected by His Family
(From Forerunner Commentary)

John 1:11

He came to His own means "He came to His own home." It can indicate that "He came to His own people" or "He came to His own town," but certainly, the connotation is that He came among those who were His. It did not matter who it was, whether it was His own family (His own brothers did not believe in Him; John 7:5), His own race of people (the Jews certainly rejected Him), or anyone on earth, except those who accepted Him. Everybody rejected Him. Even His own disciples abandoned Him at the last moment.
