'Refuse' in the Bible

He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: “I am not the Messiah.”

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses]; and [still] you [reject our evidence and] do not accept our testimony.

Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse to believe Him whom *He* has sent.

and still you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

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

Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"

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?"
