According to Luke, Jesus told the woman that because she believed in Him, she was safe and could now be happy and calm. This shows that having faith in Jesus is very important and helps people feel peaceful inside.

Luke 7:50: And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Contradiction with James 2:24

This verse states that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, which contradicts Luke 7:50 where faith alone is emphasized.

James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Contradiction with Hebrews 11:6

This verse emphasizes faith, but adds that works are necessary to please God, adding a nuance contrary to the focus on faith alone in Luke 7:50.

Hebrews 11:6: But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Contradiction with Romans 3:28

While similar in stating justification by faith, this verse contrasts with the comprehensive reliance on faith without explicit mention of works in Luke 7:50 but can also emphasize faith in broader context.

Romans 3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Contradiction with Galatians 2:16

Talks about not being justified by works but through faith, potentially contradicting the singular action implied in Luke 7:50 by indicating a broader need for faith in Jesus Christ specifically.

Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
