Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 13:34 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 13:34. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, Jesus is sad because he wanted to protect and care for the people of Jerusalem like a mother hen protects her chicks, but they did not want his help. It's like when you want to give someone a hug to make them feel better, but they push you away.

Luke 13:34: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!

Contradiction with John 12:47

Jesus states that he did not come to judge the world but to save it, which contrasts with the lamentation and impending judgment suggested in Luke 13:34.

John 12:47: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Contradiction with Matthew 10:34

Jesus claims he came not to bring peace, but a sword, contrasting with the protective and nurturing imagery of gathering as a hen gathers her chicks in Luke 13:34.

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 Matthew 15:24

Jesus says he was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, which appears contradictory to the expression of sorrow over Jerusalem as a whole in Luke 13:34.

Matthew 15:24: But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Contradiction with John 3:17

States that God did not send His Son to condemn the world, diverging from the sense of condemnation inherent in the lament over Jerusalem's rejection in Luke 13:34.

John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
