6: 44No one can (dynamai) come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day.
6: 52The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can (dynamai) this man give us his flesh to eat?"
6: 60When many of his disciples heard it, they said, "This teaching is difficult; who can (dynamai) accept it?"
6: 65And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can (dynamai) come to me unless it is granted by the Father."
7: 7The world cannot (dynamai) hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its works are evil.
7: 34You will search for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot (dynamai) come."
7: 36What does he mean by saying, 'You will search for me and you will not find me' and 'Where I am, you cannot (dynamai) come'?"
8: 21Again he said to them, "I am going away, and you will search for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot (dynamai) come."
8: 22Then the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, 'Where I am going, you cannot (dynamai) come'?"

10: 35If those to whom the word of God came were called 'gods' - and the scripture cannot (dynamai) be annulled -
11: 37But some of them said, "Could (dynamai) not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"
12: 39And so they could (dynamai) not believe, because Isaiah also said,

13: 36Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you cannot (dynamai) follow me now; but you will follow afterward."

14: 5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can (dynamai) we know the way?"
14: 17This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot (dynamai) receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.
15: 4Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot (dynamai) bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither you unless you abide in me.
15: 5I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can (dynamai) do nothing.
16: 12"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot (dynamai) bear them now.

19: 40For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause that we can (dynamai) give to justify this commotion." When he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.

21: 34Some in the crowd shouted one thing, some another; and as he could (dynamai) not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
24: 8By examining him yourself you will be able (dynamai) to learn from him concerning everything of which we accuse him."
24: 11As you can (dynamai) find out, it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
24: 13Neither can (dynamai) they prove to you the charge that they now bring against me.
25: 11Now if I am in the wrong and have committed something for which I deserve to die, I am not trying to escape death; but if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can (dynamai) turn me over to them. I appeal to the emperor."
26: 32Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could (dynamai) have been set free if he had not appealed to the emperor."

27: 39In the morning they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned to run the ship ashore, if they could (dynamai).
27: 43but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could (dynamai) swim to jump overboard first and make for the land,

4: 20Those who say, "I love God," and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot (dynamai) love God whom they have not seen.
