Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:2
This verse states that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night, while Mark 13:34 suggests the servants have some awareness and responsibility for the house.
1 Thessalonians 5:2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Contradiction with Matthew 24:36
This verse declares that no one knows the day or hour, contradicting the notion in Mark 13:34 that the servants are given tasks and responsibilities suggesting awareness of times.
Matthew 24:36: But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Contradiction with Acts 1:7
It notes that it is not for humanity to know times or seasons, seeming at odds with the servant's watchfulness implied in Mark 13:34.
Acts 1:7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Contradiction with Matthew 25:13
Advises watchfulness because the day and hour are unknown, contrasting with the structured responsibility mentioned in Mark 13:34.
Matthew 25:13: Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
