Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse could arise from the tension between following strict religious rules and responding to human need and compassion. Some might see a conflict between adhering strictly to rules or laws and prioritizing acts of kindness or healing others, especially if such acts seem to break those laws. This can be seen as a challenge of balancing legalism with compassion.
