"Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee." (Ecclesiastes 3:27,28)

the only passage that I can think is in Matthew . Christ was approached by a canaanite woman who begged Christ to help her possesed daughter. Christ ignored the woman twice. The disciples asked Christ if they want them to turn her away. The canaanite woman fell on her knees and begged Christ for mercy stating that even a dog eats the crumbs that fell from the master's table. Christ then told the woman that her daughter was healed. So eventually he did help her.
Matthew chpt 15

Evil is first stated in Genesis, while God explains that Adam and Eve shouldn't devour from the tree that could provide them wisdom of it. If there became the potential for interpreting evil, it might might desire to exist formerly the tree itself, as nicely as Eden's gardening team.

Jesus refers to some in the Parable of the Ten Virgins, that's Matthew 25.
Jesus in John 6 begins to talk about eating his flesh and drinking his blood in order to blow off those that wanted the power to make bread for themselves.

I wonder if you're thinking of Luke 11:
5Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'
7"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness[a] he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
9"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you

That doesn't sound at all familiar, can you give us more details?
