1He came unto his own, and his own received him not] Here John beginneth to speak of his coming into the flesh which he took of the Jews, unto whom he was promised, and of his ⟨p. 491⟩ministry among the Jews, and of their contempt towards him. They confound this part with the former; as if it were spoken of the same time. But the course of his speech showeth that his meaning is, that Christ was before in the world not known, and afterwards came unto his own, and was not received. Because, although he was now already in the world, yet then he came unto his own. Therefore here is understood a new coming, a new manifestation, whereby after a singular and new manner he began to be in his own country and people, which was then done, when he was borne of Mary, and from thence forward.
