I believe it to be in the gospel...Around the time Jesus raised Lazarus... And people were urging Jesus to show the priests what he had done, and Jesus said something to the effect of, if they didn't believe before, they wont believe even now... Does anyone know where this is...Or if this is even in the Bible...I am having such a difficult time finding it!???
Also I need other passages about people’s choice of disbelief? Or what Jesus has to say about those who don’t believe. Thanks!

I think you may be confusing the story of the raising of Lazarus (John Chapter 11) with another story in the Gospel of Luke, where a poor man named Lazarus dies and goes to be with Abraham, while the rich man at whose gate he used to lie is in torment in hell. The rich man tries to persuade Abraham to send someone to warn his brothers of the place of torment he finds himself in, and Abraham responds; "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead." (Luke 16:31)

In Matthew 23 1 and following Jesus talks about the religious leaders. also in Mark 12:38-40, and Luke 45-47. The reason Jesus told them not to bother with the Religious leaders is because they didn't want to believe in Jesus as the Son of God. They didn't want to humble themselves. They made so many laws, and didn't want Jesus to tell that they were wrong. For Unbelief Rom 11:20,23,32, Heb 3:12,19. Heb 4:6, 11. I hope this will help you. Please get a Strong's exhaustive concordance of the Bible. It tells you where every word is found in every passage of the Bible. God bless you.

The only one I can find around that time frame is this one in John 12:42-50. He's talking to the pharisees. They told him that they didn't believe his miracles, and this is what he told them. It's the closest I could find. Interesting to note, John 11:35 is the shortest verse in the bible.. just thought I would throw that in. :)

John 3:18 The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
"He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
