But Jesus replied, "Woe to you experts in religious law as well! You load people down with burdens difficult to bear, yet you yourselves refuse to touch the burdens with even one of your fingers!

But you refuse to believe because you are not my sheep.

So Pilate said, "Do you refuse to speak to me? Don't you know I have the authority to release you, and to crucify you?"

Take care not to refuse the one who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less shall we, if we reject the one who warns from heaven?
