Contradiction with Matthew 9:13
Jesus states that he has come to call sinners to repentance, not the righteous, which supports rather than contradicts the situation in Luke 5:30 where Pharisees criticize him for eating with sinners.
Matthew 9:13: But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Contradiction with Mark 2:17
Jesus explains that those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick do, reinforcing his mission to reach out to sinners contrary to the Pharisees' criticism in Luke 5:30.
Mark 2:17: When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 5:11
Paul advises not to associate with anyone who calls themselves a brother but is an immoral person, which seems to support avoiding sinners rather than associating with them as Jesus did in Luke 5:30.
1 Corinthians 5:11: But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
Contradiction with 2 Thessalonians 3:6
Paul instructs believers to avoid those who live unruly lives, advocating separation from sinners which contradicts Jesus' approach in Luke 5:30.
2 Thessalonians 3:6: Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
Paradox #1
This verse could present a contradiction related to judgment. The religious leaders in the story criticize Jesus for eating with tax collectors and sinners, highlighting a possible inconsistency between the ideals of acceptance and love versus judgment and exclusion. Jesus' actions challenge the leaders' views, suggesting a conflict between maintaining purity and showing compassion.
