While Mark 3:5 highlights Jesus' anger, Matthew 5:22 warns against anger by suggesting those who are angry with their brother are subject to judgment.
Matthew 5:22: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. [Raca: that is, Vain fellow]
Contradiction with Ephesians 4:31

Contradiction with James 1:20

Contradiction with Proverbs 16:32

Proverbs 16:32: [He that is] slow to anger [is] better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Paradox #1
One possible contradiction or inconsistency with Mark 3:5 could relate to differences in the portrayal of Jesus' emotions or actions across the Gospels. In some accounts, Jesus is more serene, while in this instance, he shows anger. This could be seen as inconsistent with other depictions of his character.
