...what Jesus says about some being drawn and some not is a very poignant statement.

Please cite Jesus saying some are not drawn.

"Please cite Jesus saying some are not drawn."

Matt. 7:22ff, "MANY will say to Me on the aday, 'Lord, Lord, did we not (choose of our own free will to come to you)? And, then I will say declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness'"

John 6:63ff, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh (human effort) profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who whould betray Him. And He was saying, 'For this reason I have said to you, that NO ONE CAN COME TO ME, UNLESS IT HAS BEEN GRANTED HIM FROM THE FATHER.'"

Mark 4:11ff, "And He was saying to them, 'To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; BUT THOSE WHO ARE OUTSIDE GET EVERYTHING IN PARABLES in order that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE; and WHILE HEARING THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND LEST THEY RETURN AGAIN AND BE FORGIVEN."

This is just a sampling.
