In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled: You will hear and hear but never understand, you will see and see but never perceive.

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures, The stone that the builders rejected is the chief stone now of the corner: this is the doing of the Lord, and a wonder to our eyes?

For I tell you, you will never see me again till you say, Blessed be he who comes in the Lord's name."

For I was hungry but you never fed me, I was thirsty but you never gave me drink,

I was a stranger but you never entertained me, I was unclothed but you never clothed me, I was ill and in prison but you never looked after me.'

Then turning to the woman he said to Simon, "You see this woman? When I came into your house, you never gave me water for my feet, while she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair;

you never gave me a kiss, while ever since she came in she has kept pressing kisses on my feet;

you never anointed my head with oil, while she has anointed my feet with perfume.

As for the seed that fell among thorns, that means people who hear but who go and get choked with worries and money and the pleasures of life, so that they never ripen.

Everyone also who says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven for it, but he who blasphemes against the holy Spirit will never be forgiven.

but he replied, 'Look at all the years I have been serving you! I have never neglected any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, to let me make merry with my friends.

He also told them a parable about the need of always praying and never losing heart.

I tell you truly, whoever will not submit to the Reign of God like a child will never get into it at all."

for I was afraid of you, you are such a hard man ??picking up what you never put down, and reaping what you never sowed.'

He replied, 'You rascal of a servant, I will convict you by what you have said yourself. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man, picking up what I never put down, and reaping what I never sowed!

for I tell you I will never eat the passover again till the fulfilment of it in the Reign of God."

for I tell you I will never drink the produce of the vine again till such time as God's Reign comes."

"We are Abraham's offspring," they retorted, "we have never been slaves to anybody. What do you mean by saying, 'You will be free'?"

Truly, truly I tell you, if anyone holds to what I say, he will never see death."
