Contradictions and Paradoxes in Luke 22:64

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 22:64 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 22:64. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, people were mean to Jesus by covering his eyes and hitting him, then asking him to guess who hurt him. They were being unfair and making fun of him.

Luke 22:64: And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

Contradiction with Matthew 26:67

This verse describes Jesus being struck, but does not mention the blindfold that is implied in Luke 22:64.

Matthew 26:67: Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

Contradiction with Mark 14:65

Similar to Matthew, it mentions Jesus being abused without specifying the blindfolding mentioned in Luke.

Mark 14:65: And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

Contradiction with John 18:23

Here, Jesus questions why he was struck if he spoke well, a different interaction than the mocking and demands to "prophesy" seen in Luke 22:64.

John 18:23: Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

Paradox #1

Luke 22:64 might seem to show a contradiction because it narrates how Jesus, who taught love and forgiveness, is mocked and mistreated. This can seem inconsistent with the belief in fairness and kindness. It shows a conflict between human actions and the teachings of compassion and respect.
