Mark 6:6
6:6 And he was amazed because of their unbelief. Then
he went around among the villages and taught.
Luke 16:29-31
16:29 But Abraham said,
‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must respond to
them.’
16:30 Then
the rich man
said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead
goes to them, they will repent.’
16:31 He
replied to him, ‘If they do not respond to
Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Luke 22:67-70
22:67 and said, “If
you are the Christ,
tell us.” But he said to them, “If
I tell you, you will not
believe,
22:68 and if
I ask you, you will not
answer.
22:69 But from now on
the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power
of God.”
22:70 So
they all said, “Are you the Son of God,
then?” He answered
them, “You say
that I am.”
John 12:37-43
The Outcome of Jesus’ Public Ministry Foretold
12:37 Although Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs before them, they still refused to believe in him,
12:38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled. He said, “Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
12:39 For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said,
12:40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their heart,
so that they would not see with their eyes
and understand with their heart,
and turn to me, and I would heal them.”
12:41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Christ’s glory, and spoke about him.
12:42 Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they would not confess Jesus to be the Christ, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue.
12:43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
