According to Luke, Jesus is telling people to be ready and watchful, just like servants waiting for their master to come home from a wedding party, so they can open the door quickly when he arrives. This means we should always be prepared for Jesus to come back.

Luke 12:36: And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

Contradiction with Matthew 24:44

This verse highlights being ready at all times for the Son of Man's return, emphasizing uncertainty in timing, whereas Luke 12:36 speaks of waiting for the master to return from a wedding, implying a more predictable event.

Matthew 24:44: Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Contradiction with Mark 13:32

Here, not even angels or the Son know the day or hour, contrasting with Luke 12:36 where servants are waiting for a specific event (the master's return) with a known timeframe.

Mark 13:32: But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:2

Describes the Lord's coming as a thief in the night, suggesting unpredictability unlike the servants in Luke 12:36 who are attentive and prepared for the master's arrival.

1 Thessalonians 5:2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

Contradiction with Revelation 16:15

This verse warns of being caught unawares like someone unprepared for a thief, contrary to the preparedness depicted in Luke 12:36 where servants are eagerly awaiting the master's return.

Revelation 16:15: Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
