Contradiction with Isaiah 1:13
This verse speaks against bringing vain sacrifices and offerings, whereas John 11:55 mentions purification before the Passover, which involves such rituals.
Isaiah 1:13: Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting. [iniquity: or, grief]
Contradiction with Amos 5:21-22
These verses express God's disdain for the feasts and sacrifices, contrary to John 11:55 which discusses preparations for the Passover feast.
Amos 5:21-22: I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. [in...: or, your holy days]
Contradiction with Matthew 9:13
This verse prioritizes mercy over sacrifice, which contradicts the focus on ritual purification for Passover in John 11:55.
Matthew 9:13: But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Contradiction with Hosea 6:6
Here, God asks for mercy and knowledge over burnt offerings, opposing the ritualistic practices implied in John 11:55.
Hosea 6:6: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Contradiction with Micah 6:6-8
These verses emphasize justice and humility over burnt offerings, which could be seen in contrast with the purification for Passover in John 11:55.
Micah 6:6-8: Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, [and] bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? [of a...: Heb. sons of a year?]
