Contradiction with Matthew 19:14
Contradiction by emphasizing the blessing of allowing children rather than the exclusion implied by Jesus travelling with only his disciples.
Matthew 19:14: But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Contradiction with John 4:8
Contradiction as this verse shows Jesus’ disciples are sent away to buy food, while Luke 8:1 highlights them accompanying Jesus.
John 4:8: (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
Contradiction with Mark 6:4
Contradiction by indicating Jesus’ challenge in ministering in his hometown, whereas Luke 8:1 depicts widespread acceptance.
Mark 6:4: But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
Contradiction with Matthew 15:24
Contradiction because this verse suggests Jesus’ mission was to the lost sheep of Israel, while Luke 8:1 indicates a broader mission.
Matthew 15:24: But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Contradiction with Acts 13:46
Contradiction by describing the focus on the Gentiles, contrasting with Luke 8:1's emphasis on Jewish cities.
Acts 13:46: Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
