"The world knew him not" sounds redundant to "his own received him not" but they are opposite sayings. The world did not 'know' Jesus in 'marriage'. The Hebrew word for marriage is also 'doctrine'.

His own did not receive his teaching, they did not receive him. | "The world knew him not" sounds redundant to "his own received him not" but they are opposite sayings.
