Those messages are in the log_denial() function in plugins/sudoers/logging.c.
There are several of them.

For the log messages, it is the following code:

    /* Set error message. */
    if (ISSET(status, FLAG_NO_USER))
        message = _("user NOT in sudoers");
    else if (ISSET(status, FLAG_NO_HOST))
        message = _("user NOT authorized on host");
    else
        message = _("command not allowed");

For the message that the user sees, see the block of code
with the comment:
    Inform the user if they failed to authenticate (in their locale).
