Message to the Church in Smyrna
8And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write: These things saith the First and the Last, who was dead and is alive:
9I know thy tribulation and thy poverty: but thou art rich. And thou art blasphemed by them that say they are Jєωs and are not, but are the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan. 10Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer.

(Acts 19:8-12)

John 1:11-14

[11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. [13] Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

This is about Jєωs, although the word is not used. This is what the Haydock commentary says:

Quote

Ver. 11. His own. This regards principally the Jєωs. Jesus came to them as into his own family, but they did not receive him. It may likewise be extended to the Gentiles, who had groaned so long a time in darkness, and only seemed to wait for the rising sun of justice to run to its light. They likewise did not receive him. These words, though apparently general, must be understood with restriction; as there were some, though comparatively few, of both Jєωs and Gentiles, who embraced the faith. Calmet.

Ver. 12. He gave to them power to be made the adoptive sons of God, and heirs of the kingdom of heaven. They are made the children of God by believing and by a new spiritual birth in the sacrament of baptism, not of blood; (literally, not of bloods) not by the will, and desires of the flesh, not by the will of men, nor by human generation, as children are first born of their natural parents, but of God, by faith and divine grace. Wi.

This passage, by the way, is within the Last Gospel, said at every Mass. This implies that it is very important.

Yes. No conflict whatsoever between the passages.
