According to Luke, Jesus listened to his parents and did what they said, and his mother, Mary, remembered and thought a lot about the special things he did and said. This shows Jesus was a good child who respected his parents, and Mary loved him and remembered important moments.

Luke 2:51: And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

Contradiction with Luke 14:26

This verse contradicts Luke 2:51 because it suggests a requirement to "hate" one's parents, which opposes the notion of obedience and subjection to them.

Luke 14:26: If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Contradiction with Matthew 10:34-35

This verse contradicts Luke 2:51 as it speaks of Jesus bringing division rather than peace, suggesting familial discord as opposed to obedience and harmony.

Matthew 10:34-35: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Paradox #1

Luke 2:51 talks about Jesus being obedient to his parents. The contradiction could arise when considering other biblical instances where following one's faith requires putting loyalty to God above all, possibly going against family wishes. This could create a conflict between honoring parents and prioritizing spiritual duties.
