Contradiction with Matthew 4:19
Contradicts the return to fishing in John 21:3 as Jesus calls Peter to a higher calling of being a fisher of men, implying a departure from his old profession.
Matthew 4:19: And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

This verse emphasizes seeking God's kingdom first, which contradicts the return to secular work in John 21:3, indicating a possible shift of focus.

Philippians 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with Acts 1:8
