Contradiction with Matthew 11:23
Unlike Luke 10:13, which pronounces woe specifically on Chorazin and Bethsaida for their lack of repentance despite witnessing miracles, this verse emphasizes that if the mighty works done in Capernaum had been done in Sodom, it would have remained to this day, suggesting different outcomes rather than uniform condemnation.
Matthew 11:23: And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Contradiction with Romans 2:4
Luke 10:13 highlights the failure to repent despite witnessing miracles, while this verse suggests that God's kindness is designed to lead to repentance, implying a different approach to eliciting repentance.
Romans 2:4: Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Contradiction with John 12:37-40
This passage contrasts with Luke 10:13 by indicating a divine purpose behind disbelief, suggesting that people could not believe as Isaiah had predicted, which does not emphasize human responsibility as Luke 10:13 does.
John 12:37-40: But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
Contradiction with Ezekiel 3:19
Here, the emphasis is on individual responsibility and warning, suggesting that the failure to heed the warning is on the listener, contrasting with the communal judgement seen in Luke 10:13.
Ezekiel 3:19: Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this verse could arise from the idea of accountability and fairness. The verse suggests that certain cities would have repented if they had seen the miracles performed elsewhere. This can raise questions about why everyone doesn't receive the same opportunities to witness such miracles and repent, which might seem inconsistent with the idea of a fair and just treatment for all.
