Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 17:24 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 17:24. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, Jesus says that when He comes back, it will be as clear and bright as lightning flashing across the sky. Everyone will be able to see and know it, just like they notice lightning.

Luke 17:24: For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

Contradiction with Matthew 24:27

This verse actually supports rather than contradicts Luke 17:24 by describing the coming of the Son of man as visible and unmistakable like lightning, similar to Luke 17:24.

Matthew 24:27: For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Contradiction with Acts 1:11

This verse explains that Jesus will return in the same way he ascended into heaven, which might imply a specific, rather than widespread, location, creating a contrast with the widespread visibility described in Luke 17:24.

Acts 1:11: Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Contradiction with Revelation 1:7

This verse emphasizes that every eye will see Him, which is consistent with Luke 17:24's description of visibility but could be contradicted by the interpretations emphasizing unexpected or hidden aspects of His coming.

Revelation 1:7: Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
