Contradiction with Matthew 10:10
This verse advises taking a staff and sandals, which contradicts with Luke 10:4, where Jesus instructs not to carry any such items.
Matthew 10:10: Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. [staves: Gr. a staff]
Contradiction with Mark 6:8-9
These verses allow the disciples to take a staff and wear sandals, conflicting with Luke 10:4, which prohibits carrying these.
Mark 6:8-9: And commanded them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse: [money: the word signifieth a piece of brass money, in value somewhat less than a farthing, but here it is taken in general for money]
Contradiction with Luke 22:35-36
Here, Jesus advises the disciples to take a purse, bag, and even a sword, contradicting the instructions in Luke 10:4 to carry no purse, nor scrip, nor shoes.
Luke 22:35-36: And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Paradox #1
Luke 10:4 advises people not to take certain things with them when they go on a journey. A potential contradiction might arise if this is compared to other parts of the Bible where followers are encouraged to be prepared and take necessary provisions. The inconsistency is between the call for complete reliance on faith versus the practical need for preparation and foresight.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction with Luke 10:4 could relate to instructions given in other parts of the Bible where carrying provisions or being prepared for a journey is emphasized. For example, in some contexts, being equipped and ready is seen as wise and prudent, which might seem inconsistent with the instruction given in this verse.
Paradox #3
The contradiction or inconsistency in Luke 10:4 could be seen in the instruction to not carry any supplies, which might conflict with the idea of being prepared and responsible. It could be seen as conflicting with the notion of self-care and ensuring one's own well-being.
