Paradox #1
The contradiction in Luke 22:70 might arise from the tension between truth-telling and the consequences of speaking the truth. Jesus acknowledges his identity, knowing it will lead to his suffering and death. This presents a conflict between being honest and self-preservation, as telling the truth results in dire consequences.
