Contradiction with Matthew 10:34
Contradicts Jesus' mention of "baptism of suffering" in Luke 12:50 by emphasizing His mission as bringing a sword, not peace.
Matthew 10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Contradiction with John 16:33
Contradicts the distress in Luke 12:50 by stating that Jesus has overcome the world, implying peace amidst tribulation.
John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Contradiction with Isaiah 53:5
Contradicts the baptism of suffering with the prophecy of healing and peace through Jesus' suffering.
Isaiah 53:5: But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [wounded: or, tormented] [stripes: Heb. bruise]
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this verse might arise from the idea of Jesus expressing a sense of distress or urgency about an impending baptism or event. This could seem inconsistent with the perception of Jesus as always being calm and in control, leading to questions about the nature of suffering and divine purpose.
