John 21:6: And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

Contradiction with Matthew 4:19

This verse speaks of following Jesus to become "fishers of men" rather than focusing on literal fishing successes, which contrasts with the miraculous catch of fish in John 21:6.

Matthew 4:19: And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Contradiction with Luke 5:5

Here, the disciples initially fail to catch fish, similar to John 21:6, but it happens earlier in Jesus' ministry, creating a narrative tension regarding when and how success is achieved.

Luke 5:5: And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

Contradiction with John 6:27

This verse emphasizes the importance of seeking spiritual food that endures to eternal life, contrasting with the physical abundance of fish in John 21:6.

John 6:27: Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. [Labour not: or, Work not]
