Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tō onomati tou patros mou {ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρός μου | en tôi onómati tou patrós mou} links His mission to the Father’s authority and relationship, with the genitive tou patros mou specifying whose name authorizes Him.
The repeated prepositional structure en tō onomati tō idiō {ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἰδίῳ | en tôi onómati tôi idíō} contrasts “in his own name” with “in the name of My Father,” shifting from divine commissioning to self-authorization.

In context — John 5:43
I have come in the name of My Father , and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
