Matthew 24:36: But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Contradiction with Proverbs 25:2
John 11:56 involves seeking to find Jesus and solve the mystery of his whereabouts, while Proverbs 25:2 presents God as keeping matters secret, suggesting some things are meant to remain undiscovered.
Proverbs 25:2: [It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.
Contradiction with Luke 12:29
John 11:56 shows the people's concern about Jesus' whereabouts, contradicting Luke 12:29, which advises against worrying about such things.
Luke 12:29: And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [neither...: or, live not in careful suspense]
