And as many as received him, he gave them authority to be the children of God, to them believing on his name:

Footnotes

19

As many as he took. Rather than “as many as received him.”  The verb before the pronoun in Greek is how the subject is usually identified.

20

Strong’s #G1849, exousia. Authority, power to act, office magistrate, etc.

eksousía (from /ek, “out from,” which intensifies /eimí, “to be, being as a right or privilege”) – authority, conferred power; delegated empowerment (“authorization”), operating in a designated jurisdiction. – Helps Word Studies
