Contradiction with Matthew 27:46
In this verse, Jesus cries out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" which contrasts with the serenity of commending his spirit in Luke 23:46.
Matthew 27:46: And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Contradiction with Mark 15:34
This verse also records Jesus' cry of abandonment, differing from the sense of trust and surrender in Luke 23:46.
Mark 15:34: And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Contradiction with John 19:30
Jesus' statement "It is finished" marks a different final utterance than in Luke 23:46, suggesting a contradiction in his last words.
John 19:30: When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Contradiction with Matthew 27:50
In this account, Jesus simply yields up the ghost without commending his spirit to the Father, differing from Luke 23:46.
Matthew 27:50: Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Contradiction with Mark 15:37
Jesus' loud cry before giving up the ghost contrasts with the peaceful act of commending his spirit in Luke 23:46.
Mark 15:37: And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
Contradiction with John 19:28-30
These verses depict a different sequence and context for Jesus' last words, conflicting with those in Luke 23:46.
John 19:28-30: After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
Paradox #1
One contradiction with this verse could be the differing accounts of Jesus' last words on the cross found in the four Gospels. Each Gospel presents a unique perspective, with phrases that convey different messages or emotions. This inconsistency raises questions about which account accurately represents Jesus' final words, as they can't all be literally true if they differ.
