οὐδέποτε

Matthew 7:23 οὐδέποτε Never

Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

Here: Strongly emphatic and placed first: 'Never, at any time...' That includes the time when they were doing their miracles.

Matthew 9:33 οὐδέποτε Never

And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

Matthew 21:16 οὐδέποτε surely sometime

“Do You hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”

Here: 'Never'. In a question with this negative, the asker expects a yes: 'You have read this, haven't you?' Put to professional Scripture scholars, it stings.

Matthew 21:42 οὐδέποτε surely sometime

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

Here: In a question, "Did you never read…?" It is pointed irony: these men read and sang this psalm regularly. The supplied gloss "surely sometime" captures the implied answer (of course they had), not the word itself.

Matthew 26:33 οὐδέποτε never

Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

Here: 'Not ever', a sweeping time word. It is stronger than Mark's simple 'not I' (Mark 14:29). Jesus answers it with 'this very night' (v34).

Mark 2:12 οὐδέποτε never

And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Here: An emphatic 'never ever.'

Mark 2:25 οὐδέποτε Surely

Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

Here: "Not ever." In a question it works as a sharp rhetorical jab: "Have you *never* read…?" The answer everyone knows is "Of course we have." The sting is that these scripture experts read the story and missed what it means.

Luke 15:29 οὐδέποτε οὐδέποτε never

But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

Here: 'Never once'. It is the first of two matching 'nevers': I never disobeyed, and you never gave.

John 7:46 οὐδέποτε Never

“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

Here: 'Never once.' It puts at the front of the sentence the claim that nothing in their experience, or anyone's, matches what they just heard.

Acts 10:14 οὐδέποτε never

“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

Here: 'Not once, ever.' Peter is claiming a lifetime of faithful observance, including his years with Jesus.

Acts 11:8 οὐδέποτε nothing ever

‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

Here: 'Not once, ever.' Peter claims a lifetime record of observant eating. Speaking to Jewish believers who were strict about the Law, he presents himself as one of them.

Acts 14:8 οὐδέποτε never

In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.

Here: 'Never, not at any time.' It is a strong word: he had no history of walking at all.

1 Corinthians 13:8 οὐδέποτε never

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

Here: An absolute 'not ever'. It makes the coming contrast sharp: love has no end, and the gifts do.

Hebrews 10:1 οὐδέποτε never

For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

Here: An emphatic 'never, at any time'. It rules out the possibility outright, not just as a matter of degree.

Hebrews 10:11 οὐδέποτε never

Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

Here: 'Never', not on any occasion. It echoes 10:1, where the law 'can never' bring worshippers to completion.
