Luke 13:26: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

Contradiction with Matthew 7:21

This verse implies that Jesus is the only way to the Father, which contradicts the notion in Luke 13:26 that mere proximity or knowledge of Jesus could offer salvation without following His teachings.

John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1 Corinthians 8:3: But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
