Contradiction with Matthew 10:23
This verse contradicts Acts 21:13 because Jesus advises fleeing persecution, whereas Paul is willing to face it.
Matthew 10:23: But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. [have...: or, end, or, finish]
Contradiction with Matthew 26:39
This verse shows Jesus asking for the cup of suffering to pass from Him if possible, contrasting with Paul's readiness to suffer in Acts 21:13.
Matthew 26:39: And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Contradiction with John 7:1
Jesus avoids going to Judea because of danger, unlike Paul in Acts 21:13 who is determined to face danger.
John 7:1: After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Contradiction with John 8:59
Jesus escapes stoning, suggesting avoidance of harm, while Paul in Acts 21:13 does not seek to escape potential harm.
John 8:59: Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Paradox #1
Acts 21:13 could present a contradiction if one considers the commitment to self-sacrifice as conflicting with the value of preserving one's life. If one believes it's more important to stay alive to continue helping others, then willingly facing danger might seem contradictory. However, if self-sacrifice for a higher cause is seen as the ultimate duty, then it aligns with moral ideals. This tension between self-preservation and self-sacrifice might be viewed as a moral conflict depending on one’s perspective.
