Contradictions and Paradoxes in Luke 5:36

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 5:36 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 5:36. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, Jesus is saying that you shouldn't mix new things with old things because they might not fit together well. It's like putting a new patch on an old shirt; it can make the shirt tear more.

Luke 5:36: And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new agreeth not with the old.

Contradiction with Matthew 9:17

This verse suggests that new wine should not be put into old bottles, reinforcing the idea of new being separate and not mixed with old, while Luke 5:36 parable highlights the incompatibility of new cloth on an old garment.

Matthew 9:17: Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. [bottles: or, sacks of skin, or, leather]

Contradiction with Mark 2:21

Similar to the parable in Luke 5:36, this verse implies the futility and harm in mixing old and new, but emphasizes the protection of the old rather than renewing it.

Mark 2:21: No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. [new cloth: or, raw, or, unwrought cloth]

Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13

This verse suggests that making a new covenant implies that the old is obsolete, stressing the replacement rather than coexistence of new and old, which adds a layer of tension to the analogy in Luke 5:36.

Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:31-32

God speaks of a new covenant that will not be like the old one, suggesting a distinct separation rather than attempting to repair or mix them as inferred in Luke 5:36.

Jeremiah 31:31-32: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
