Contradiction with Exodus 20:10
Exodus 20:10 commands to keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work, which contrasts with Luke 6:1 where the disciples plucked ears of corn on the Sabbath.
Exodus 20:10: But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:
Contradiction with Isaiah 58:13
Isaiah 58:13 advises not to pursue one's own pleasure on the Sabbath, conflicting with the disciples' actions as described in Luke 6:1.
Isaiah 58:13: If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:
Contradiction with Nehemiah 13:15
Nehemiah 13:15 speaks against labor like gathering wood on the Sabbath, similar to the actions of the disciples in Luke 6:1.
Nehemiah 13:15: In those days saw I in Judah [some] treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all [manner of] burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified [against them] in the day wherein they sold victuals.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:21-22
Jeremiah 17:21-22 warns against carrying burdens on the Sabbath, opposing the implication of gathering food in Luke 6:1.
Jeremiah 17:21-22: Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Contradiction with Matthew 12:2
In Matthew 12:2, the Pharisees criticize the disciples' actions on the Sabbath, indicating a contradiction with Jewish law compliance as suggested in Luke 6:1.
Matthew 12:2: But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
Contradiction with Mark 2:24
Mark 2:24 reflects a similar contradiction with Sabbath observance as the Pharisees question the legality of the disciples' actions in Luke 6:1.
Mark 2:24: And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
Contradiction with Exodus 16:23
Exodus 16:23 instructs to prepare food on the sixth day to rest on the seventh, contradicting the disciples' actions in Luke 6:1.
Exodus 16:23: And he said unto them, This [is that] which the LORD hath said, To morrow [is] the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake [that] which ye will bake [to day], and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Contradiction with Leviticus 23:3
Leviticus 23:3 reinforces the Sabbath as a day of rest with no work to be done, opposing the actions of the disciples in Luke 6:1.
Leviticus 23:3: Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [is] the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work [therein]: it [is] the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
Paradox #1
Luke 6:1 might be seen as a contradiction because it describes Jesus' disciples picking grain on the Sabbath, which could be viewed as work. This seems to conflict with the traditional Jewish law that prohibits work on the Sabbath. Some might see this as inconsistent with adhering to the Sabbath commandment.
