A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
his own--"His own" (property or possession), for the word is in the neuter gender. It means His own land, city, temple, Messianic rights and possessions.

and his own--"His own (people)"; for now the word is masculine. It means the Jews, as the "peculiar people." Both they and their land, with all that this included, were "HIS OWN," not so much as part of "the world which was made by Him," but as "THE HEIR" of the inheritance (Luk 20:14; see also on Mat 22:1).

received him not--nationally, as God's chosen witnesses.

1 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and spake [2036] unto them [846] again [3825] by [1722] parables [3850], and said [3004],
14 But [1161] when the husbandmen [1092] saw [1492] him [846], they reasoned [1260] among [4314] themselves [1438], saying [3004], This [3778] is [2076] the heir [2818]: come [1205], let us kill [615] him [846], that [2443] the inheritance [2817] may be [1096] ours [2257].
3 He is despised [0959] and rejected [02310] of men [0376]; a man [0376] of sorrows [04341], and acquainted [03045] with grief [02483]: and we hid as it were [04564] our faces [06440] from him; he was despised [0959], and we esteemed [02803] him not.
4 Surely [0403] he hath borne [05375] our griefs [02483], and carried [05445] our sorrows [04341]: yet we did esteem [02803] him stricken [05060], smitten [05221] of God [0430], and afflicted [06031].
2 For thou art an holy [06918] people [05971] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977] thee to be a peculiar [05459] people [05971] unto himself, above all the nations [05971] that are upon [06440] the earth [0127].
6 For thou art an holy [06918] people [05971] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath chosen [0977] thee to be a special [05459] people [05971] unto himself, above all people [05971] that are upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127].
19 He sheweth [05046] his word [01697] [01697] unto Jacob [03290], his statutes [02706] and his judgments [04941] unto Israel [03478].
20 He hath not dealt [06213] so with any nation [01471]: and as for his judgments [04941], they have not known [03045] them. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050].
1 Now will I sing [07891] to my wellbeloved [03039] a song [07892] of my beloved [01730] touching his vineyard [03754]. My wellbeloved [03039] hath a vineyard [03754] in a very fruitful [01121] [08081] hill [07161]:
2 And he fenced [05823] it, and gathered out the stones [05619] thereof, and planted [05193] it with the choicest vine [08321], and built [01129] a tower [04026] in the midst [08432] of it, and also made [02672] a winepress [03342] therein: and he looked [06960] that it should bring forth [06213] grapes [06025], and it brought forth [06213] wild grapes [0891].
3 And now, O inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and men [0376] of Judah [03063], judge [08199], I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard [03754].
4 What could have been done [06213] more to my vineyard [03754], that I have not done [06213] in it? wherefore [04069], when I looked [06960] that it should bring forth [06213] grapes [06025], brought it forth [06213] wild grapes [0891]?
5 And now go to; I will tell [03045] you what I will do [06213] to my vineyard [03754]: I will take away [05493] the hedge [04881] thereof, and it shall be eaten up [01197]; and break down [06555] the wall [01447] thereof, and it shall be trodden down [04823]:
6 And I will lay [07896] it waste [01326]: it shall not be pruned [02168], nor digged [05737]; but there shall come up [05927] briers [08068] and thorns [07898]: I will also command [06680] the clouds [05645] that they rain [04305] no rain [04306] upon it.
7 For the vineyard [03754] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is the house [01004] of Israel [03478], and the men [0376] of Judah [03063] his pleasant [08191] plant [05194]: and he looked [06960] for judgment [04941], but behold oppression [04939]; for righteousness [06666], but behold a cry [06818].
12 For [1063] I [1473] neither [3761] received [3880] it [846] of [3844] man [444], neither [3777] was I taught [1321] it, but [235] by [1223] the revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
23 For [1063] I [1473] have received [3880] of [575] the Lord [2962] that which [3739] also [2532] I delivered [3860] unto you [5213], That [3754] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] the same night [3571] in [1722] which [3739] he was betrayed [3860] took [2983] bread [740]:
33 And [2532] he took [3880] them [846] [1722] the same [1565] hour [5610] of the night [3571], and washed [3068] their stripes [575] [4127]; and [2532] was baptized [907], he [846] and [2532] all [3956] his [846], straightway [3916].
1 And [2532] after [3326] six [1803] days [2250] Jesus [2424] taketh [3880] Peter [4074] [2532], James [2385], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], and [2532] bringeth [399] them [846] up [399] into [1519] an high [5308] mountain [3735] apart [2596] [2398],
5 Then [5119] the devil [1228] taketh [3880] him [846] up [3880] into [1519] the holy [40] city [4172], and [2532] setteth [2476] him [846] on [1909] a pinnacle [4419] of the temple [2411],
10 He was [2258] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] the world [2889] was made [1096] by [1223] him [846], and [2532] the world [2889] knew [1097] him [846] not [3756].
6 For thou art an holy [06918] people [05971] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath chosen [0977] thee to be a special [05459] people [05971] unto himself, above all people [05971] that are upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127].
12 And the LORD [03068] shall inherit [05157] Judah [03063] his portion [02506] in the holy [06944] land [0127], and shall choose [0977] Jerusalem [03389] again.
3 They shall not dwell [03427] in the LORD'S [03068] land [0776]; but Ephraim [0669] shall return [07725] to Egypt [04714], and they shall eat [0398] unclean [02931] things in Assyria [0804].
7 And I brought [0935] you into a plentiful [03759] country [0776], to eat [0398] the fruit [06529] thereof and the goodness [02898] thereof; but when ye entered [0935], ye defiled [02930] my land [0776], and made [07760] mine heritage [05159] an abomination [08441].
6 And [2532] when we had taken our leave [782] one of another [240], we took [1910] [1519] ship [4143]; and [1161] they [1565] returned [5290] [1519] home [2398] again [5290].
27 Then [1534] saith he [3004] to the disciple [3101], Behold [2400] thy [4675] mother [3384]! And [2532] from [575] that [1565] hour [5610] that disciple [3101] took [2983] her [846] unto [1519] his own [2398] home.
32 Behold [2400], the hour [5610] cometh [2064], yea [2532], is [2064] now [3568] come [2064], that [2443] ye shall be scattered [4650], every man [1538] to [1519] his own [2398], and [2532] shall leave [863] me [1691] alone [3441]: and yet [2532] I am [1510] not [3756] alone [3441], because [3754] the Father [3962] is [2076] with [3326] me [1700].
7 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], It is [2076] not [3756] for you [5216] to know [1097] the times [5550] or [2228] the seasons [2540], which [3739] the Father [3962] hath put [5087] in [1722] his own [2398] power [1849].
10 He was [2258] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] the world [2889] was made [1096] by [1223] him [846], and [2532] the world [2889] knew [1097] him [846] not [3756].
