'Own' in the Bible

He came to his own creation, yet his own people did not receive him.

But the sanctuary he was speaking about was his own body.

I have sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have adopted their work as your own."

since Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

So the Jewish leaders were trying all the harder to kill him, because he was not only breaking the Sabbath but was also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the Son can do nothing on his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing, What the Father does, the Son does likewise.

I can do nothing on my own accord. I judge according to what I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me."

"If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is not trustworthy.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. Yet if another man comes in his own name, you will accept him.

I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.

If anyone wants to do his will, he'll know whether this teaching is from God or whether I'm speaking on my own.

The one who speaks on his own seeks his own praise. But the one who seeks the praise of him who sent him is genuine, and there's nothing false in him.

At this point Jesus, still teaching in the Temple, shouted, "So you know me and know where I've come from? I haven't come on my own accord. But the one who sent me is true, and he's the one you don't know.

One of their own, Nicodemus (the man who had previously met with Jesus), asked them,

Then all of them went to their own homes.

In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two people is valid.

So Jesus told them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.

Jesus told them, "If God were your Father, you would've loved me, because I came from God and am here. I haven't come on my own accord, but he sent me.

I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks it, and he is the Judge.

It's to him the gatekeeper opens the gate, and it's his voice the sheep hear. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

When he has driven out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

The hired worker, who isn't the shepherd and doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, deserts the sheep, and runs away. So the wolf snatches them and scatters them,

I'm the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,

No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is what my Father has commanded me."

Now he did not say this on his own initiative. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

because I haven't spoken on my own authority. Instead, the Father who sent me has himself commanded me what to say and how to speak.

Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

You believe, don't you, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I don't speak on my own. It is the Father who dwells in me and who carries out his work.

I'm leaving you at peace. I'm giving you my own peace. I'm not giving it to you as the world gives. So don't let your hearts be troubled, and don't be afraid.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as one of its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.

Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he'll guide you into all truth. He won't speak on his own accord, but he'll speak whatever he hears and will declare to you the things that are to come.

Listen, the time is coming, indeed it has already come, when you will be scattered, each of you to his own home, and you will leave me all by myself. Yet I'm not alone, because the Father is with me.

Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his own teaching.

Jesus replied, "Are you asking this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about me?"

Pilate replied, "I am not a Jew, am I? It is your own nation and high priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

Then he told the disciple, "Here is your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
