Contradictions and Paradoxes in Mark 2:21

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Mark 2:21 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Mark 2:21. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Mark, this means that Jesus is teaching us how trying to mix his new ways with old ways that don’t fit, is like sewing a new cloth on an old one—not a good idea, because it can make things worse. Jesus wants us to learn and do things his way, which is the best way.

Mark 2:21: No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. [new cloth: or, raw, or, unwrought cloth]

Contradiction with Luke 5:36

This verse contains the same parable as Mark 2:21, so it doesn't directly contradict, but the context differentiates the audience and emphasis in the teaching.

Luke 5:36: And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new agreeth not with the old.

Contradiction with Matthew 13:52

This verse suggests a harmony between old and new teachings, while Mark 2:21 implies incompatibility.

Matthew 13:52: Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
