Contradiction with Exodus 20:12
Luke 2:42 describes Jesus’ obedience in attending the feast, whereas Exodus 20:12 emphasizes honoring parents, even though Jesus' subsequent actions at the temple could be seen as dishonoring by worrying his parents.
Exodus 20:12: Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Contradiction with Proverbs 22:6
Luke 2:42 shows Jesus as already wise and understanding at age twelve, somewhat contradicting the notion of needing training as suggested in Proverbs 22:6, which emphasizes upbringing and guidance.
Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. [Train...: or, Catechise] [in...: Heb. in his way]
Contradiction with Matthew 15:4
This verse aligns more with strict adherence to parental honor, while Luke 2:42 begins the narrative of Jesus’ independence, later resulting in separation from his parents.
Matthew 15:4: For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
Contradiction with Colossians 3:20
Here, children are commanded to obey parents in all things, which contrasts with Jesus staying behind in the temple, beyond his parents' knowledge.
Colossians 3:20: Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
