Contradiction with Matthew 5:16
This verse encourages letting your good deeds be seen by others to glorify God, whereas Luke 5:14 advises the healed man to tell no one about his healing.
Matthew 5:16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Contradiction with Matthew 28:19-20
These verses command disciples to spread Jesus' teachings openly, contradicting the directive in Luke 5:14 to keep the healing secret.
Matthew 28:19-20: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [teach...: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations]
Contradiction with Mark 16:15
This verse instructs to preach the gospel to every creature, conflicting with the instruction in Luke 5:14 to remain silent about the miracle.
Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Contradiction with John 18:20
Jesus states that He spoke openly to the world, which contradicts the command in Luke 5:14 for the healed man to tell no one.
John 18:20: Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency might arise from the mention of offering a sacrifice as commanded by Moses. Some scholars argue that the described practice might not align perfectly with documented historical Jewish rituals of that specific time, potentially raising questions about historical accuracy.
