Contradiction with Matthew 28:19
This verse commands believers to make disciples of all nations, while Acts 20:16 shows Paul's urgency to reach Jerusalem, possibly limiting his mission's scope temporarily.

Contradiction with Acts 1:8
This verse emphasizes being witnesses to the ends of the earth, which could contradict Acts 20:16, where Paul prioritizes being in Jerusalem over broader outreach.
Acts 1:8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. [power...: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you]

Paul mentions his desire to preach where Christ was not known, which could seem at odds with his determination in Acts 20:16 to go to Jerusalem, a place where Christ was already preached.
Romans 15:20: Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
