Contradiction with Matthew 8:24
In this account of the same event, it suggests a sudden storm, while Luke emphasizes the rising water and peril more gradually.
Matthew 8:24: And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
Contradiction with Mark 4:39
Here, after calming the storm, Jesus questions the disciples' faith in a more reproachful tone compared to Luke's portrayal.
Mark 4:39: And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Contradiction with John 14:27
This verse speaks of Jesus giving peace, which seems to contradict the disciples' fear depicted in Luke 8:24.
John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Contradiction with Psalm 89:9
Claims divine control over the sea, contrasting the fear and chaos present in Luke 8:24.
Psalm 89:9: Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
Contradiction with Isaiah 41:10
Offers reassurance against fear, which juxtaposes the disciples’ fearful reaction in Luke 8:24.
Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
