'Own' in the Bible

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

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

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaiming the Father’s own message]; for God gives the [gift of the] Spirit without measure [generously and boundlessly]!

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

And many more believed because of his own word;

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill Him: Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Then Jesus replied, “I assure you: The Son is not able to do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does these things in the same way.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

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

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

(For not even his own brothers believed in him.)

Jesus answered them by saying, “My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me.

If anyone wants to do His will, he will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him;

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

And every man went unto his own house.

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

Then the Pharisees told Him, “You are testifying on Your own behalf; Your testimony is not valid.”

Jesus replied, “Even if I do testify on My own behalf, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

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

So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own. But just as the Father taught Me, I say these things.

You are doing the works of your [own] father.” They said to Him, “We are not illegitimate children; we have one [spiritual] Father: God.”

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

"Yes it is," replied some of them. "No it is not," said others, "but he is like him." His own statement was, "I am the man."

but as to how he now sees, we do not know; or who has opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him [and stop asking us]; he is of age, he will speak for himself and give his own account of it.”

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His [own] life for the sheep.

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

“I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me,

even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father—and I lay down My [very own] life [sacrificing it] for the benefit of the sheep.

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My [own] life so that I may take it back.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from My Father.”

The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.

Nor do you understand that it is expedient and politically advantageous for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

[Rather, I will say,] ‘Father, glorify (honor, extol) Your name!’” Then a voice came from heaven saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

For I have not spoken on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a command as to what I should say and what I should speak.

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on My own. The Father who lives in Me does His works.

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.

No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also declare to you what is to come.

Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

But now I am coming to You; and I say these things [while I am still] in the world so that they may experience My joy made full and complete and perfect within them [filling their hearts with My delight].

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

Pilate told them, "Take him yourselves and pass judgment on him according to your own law!" The Jewish leaders replied, "We cannot legally put anyone to death."

Jesus answered, “Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about Me?”

Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

Carrying His own cross, He went out to what is called Skull Place, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and walked wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and arms, and someone else will dress you, and carry you where you do not wish to go.”
