Exegesis
This subject is linked with the aorist verb elabon {ἔλαβον | é-la-bon} “received,” which takes the direct object auton {αὐτόν | au-tón}, referring back to the Logos who came to His own.
In context — John 1:12
But to as many as received Him , to them He gave authority to become children of God , to those who are believing in His name.
