Contradictions and Paradoxes in Luke 20:41

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 20:41 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 20:41. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, Jesus asked people, "Why do people say that the Christ, or the one God promised to send, is the son of King David?" He wanted them to think about how the special person God would send was greater than just being part of David's family.

Luke 20:41: And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

Contradiction with Matthew 22:45

In Matthew 22:45, the same question is posed as in Luke 20:41, highlighting a consistent challenge to the Pharisees' understanding rather than a contradiction.

Matthew 22:45: And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions].

Contradiction with Mark 12:37

Similar to Luke 20:41, Mark 12:37 poses the question about David calling the Messiah "Lord," again challenging the commonly held belief rather than contradicting it.

Mark 12:37: David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he [then] his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or inconsistency in the context of that verse can be related to the way Jesus questions how the Messiah can be both David's son and Lord, according to Jewish expectations and interpretations of Scripture. This presents a challenge to traditional views on the lineage and nature of the Messiah in Jewish thought.
