Contradiction with Mark 11:24
This verse emphasizes belief and receiving through prayer, while John 11:41 shows Jesus giving thanks before the miracle occurs, implying a proactive expression of gratitude rather than solely a request through faith.
Mark 11:24: Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
Contradiction with Matthew 6:7
This verse warns against using vain repetitions in prayer, yet John 11:41 shows a prayer of thanksgiving, which may be seen as a different approach to traditional prayer.
Matthew 6:7: But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Contradiction with James 1:6-7
These verses stress the importance of unwavering faith when asking from God, whereas John 11:41 depicts a moment of gratitude, possibly suggesting that faith should be complemented with thanksgiving.
James 1:6-7: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Contradiction with Luke 18:11
This verse contrasts with John 11:41 by showing the Pharisee's prayer focused on self, while Jesus in John gives thanks with humility and acknowledgment of God’s power.
Luke 18:11: The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Contradiction with Matthew 15:8
This verse talks about honoring God with lips while hearts are far, contradicting with John 11:41 where Jesus’ heart and words are aligned in thanksgiving and acknowledgment of God's will.
Matthew 15:8: This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
