Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 1:25
This verse states that the foolishness of God is wiser than men, which contrasts with John 2:5 where human intervention, following Mary's instruction, is needed to resolve a situation.
1 Corinthians 1:25: Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Contradiction with Matthew 4:7
Jesus responds to temptation by stating not to test God, contrasting with John 2:5 where instructions lead to a miracle which could be seen as a test of divine power.
Matthew 4:7: Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [tempt: or, try, or, put to trial, or, proof]
Contradiction with John 5:30
Here, Jesus emphasizes acting only on God's will, which may seem to contradict the immediate response to Mary’s request in John 2:5.
John 5:30: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Contradiction with Mark 8:12
Jesus expresses reluctance to perform miracles to prove His deity, differing from His willingness to comply with Mary’s wish in John 2:5.
Mark 8:12: And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
Contradiction with Luke 22:42
Jesus seeks divine will over earthly requests, unlike John 2:5 where He acts on Mary's instructions.
Luke 22:42: Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. [willing, remove: Gr. willing to remove]
