Contradiction with Proverbs 27:1
This verse advises against boasting about future events, whereas John 13:19 involves Jesus predicting future events to validate His identity.
Proverbs 27:1: Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. [to...: Heb. to morrow day]
Contradiction with James 4:14
This verse emphasizes human uncertainty about the future, contrasting with Jesus' assurance in predicting future events in John 13:19.
James 4:14: Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. [It...: or, For it is]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:7
This verse highlights that no one knows what will happen, contradicting Jesus' knowledge and foresight in John 13:19.
Ecclesiastes 8:7: For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? [when...: or, how it shall be?]
Contradiction with Acts 1:7
This verse suggests that knowledge of future events is reserved for God the Father, contrasting with Jesus demonstrating knowledge of future events in John 13:19.
Acts 1:7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Contradiction with Matthew 24:36
This verse states that no one knows the day or hour of future events, which seems to oppose Jesus' foreknowledge as demonstrated in John 13:19.
Matthew 24:36: But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Paradox #1
John 13:19 could be seen to contrast with the idea of human free will because it suggests prior knowledge and intention behind future events. If everything is known and determined in advance, it raises questions about the extent of human freedom to choose their actions. This can create a tension between God's omniscience and the concept of free will.
