Surah 2

Surah 2:145

"Yet even if you bring every sign to those who have been given the Book, they will not follow your direction. You are not a follower of their direction, nor are they followers of each other’s direction. If indeed you follow their (vain) desires, after the knowledge which has come to you, surely then you will indeed be among the evildoers."

2.145 – they will not follow your direction

In all of the long preceding passage from verse 75 and continuing till verse 162, the main issue seems to be that the People of the Book choose not to accept the authority of the messenger.
