Contradictions and Paradoxes in Mark 16:6

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Mark 16:6 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Mark 16:6. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Mark, the author of the book, the angel is telling the people that they don't need to be afraid because Jesus, who died, is now alive again and not in the tomb anymore. This is a happy surprise because it shows that Jesus has come back to life.

Mark 16:6: And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

Contradiction with Matthew 28:6

This verse supports, rather than contradicts, Mark 16:6 by similarly stating Jesus is not in the tomb and is risen.

Matthew 28:6: He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Contradiction with John 20:2

This verse indicates confusion with the idea that Jesus' body was taken, which contrasts with the assurance given in Mark 16:6 of Jesus's resurrection.

John 20:2: Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

Paradox #1

Mark 16:6 may be seen as inconsistent with the accounts of the resurrection found in other Gospels. The differences in details such as who visited the tomb, what they saw, and what they were told can create confusion about the events surrounding the resurrection. These variations can be seen as contradictions or inconsistencies in the narratives.
