Exegesis
A shift to the singular verb edoken {ἔδωκεν | é-dō-ken} “He gave” introduces the action of the Logos toward those receivers, with autois {αὐτοῖς | au-toîs} “to them” as the indirect object.
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.
