John 10:24-26
The Jews surrounded him and asked,“ How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”“ I did tell you and you don’t believe,” Jesus answered them.“ The works that I do in my Father’s name testify about me.But you don’t believe because you are not of my sheep.

John 9:27-28
“ I already told you,” he said,“ and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become his disciples too, do you?”They ridiculed him:“ You’re that man’s disciple, but we’re Moses’s disciples.

John 5:39-47
You pore over the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, and yet they testify about me.But you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.“ I do not accept glory from people,but I know you— that you have no love for God within you.I have come in my Father’s name, and yet you don’t accept me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.How can you believe, since you accept glory from one another but don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.But if you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe my words?”

John 8:43-45
Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to my word.You are of your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

The high priest said to him,“ I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”“ You have said it,” Jesus told him.“ But I tell you, in the future you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”Then the high priest tore his robes and said,“ He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? See, now you’ve heard the blasphemy.What is your decision?” They answered,“ He deserves death!”Then they spat in his face and beat him; others slapped himand said,“ Prophesy to us, Messiah! Who was it that hit you?”

Matthew 11:3-5
and asked him,“ Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”Jesus replied to them,“ Go and report to John what you hear and see:The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news,

John 12:37-43
Even though he had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him.This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said: Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they would not see with their eyes or understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke about him.Nevertheless, many did believe in him even among the rulers, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, so that they would not be banned from the synagogue.For they loved human praise more than praise from God.

But he kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him,“ Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”“ I am,” said Jesus,“ and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”Then the high priest tore his robes and said,“ Why do we still need witnesses?You have heard the blasphemy. What is your decision?” They all condemned him as deserving death.Then some began to spit on him, to blindfold him, and to beat him, saying,“ Prophesy!” The temple servants also took him and slapped him.While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the high priest’s maidservants came.
