Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Contextually, this passage applies to unsaved "Christians" in the end times (which is now). Because He's asking unbelievers to let Him into their hearts, we can also apply this passage to unbelievers who don't call themselves Christian.

Nobody ever said that Jesus used those exact words. Jesus did, on the other hand, say in Luke that we are forsake everything else and follow Him. He also says "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, nobody may come to the Father except through Me". Jesus never begs anyone to do anything, He simply states the truth and lets you decide whether or not you want to accept it, letting you know that there will be a consequence for picking the wrong one.

You are correct, Jesus does not beg. Or invite, except for a general, outward call so that no one has an excuse. And we cannot accept Jesus, this is only a misguided perception of the work already done in the regenerate's heart through the action of the Holy Spirit.
The difference between love and wrath is GRACE, not acceptance.

Beg? No that is not in the bible.
Jesus presents himself to a soul in need, and knocks at the door of your heart. If any man hears and opens that door. He will come in.
Revelation 3:7-9 (in Context) Revelation 3 (Whole Chapter)
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

No where. Jesus does not "beg" us to accept him. He invites us to accept him. The choice of accepting him or not is ours.
In Christ,

John 3:16 was spoken by Jesus.
He also spoke " I am the way the truth and the Life, no one comes to the father except through me."

I hope this is closs enough for you John 3
16"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.
