Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:34-35
Whereas Mark 4:1 describes Jesus teaching a mixed crowd by the sea, this verse suggests that women should remain silent in churches.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
Contradiction with James 3:1
This verse advises against many becoming teachers due to stricter judgment, contradicting the scene in Mark 4:1 where Jesus readily teaches a large crowd.
James 3:1: My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. [condemnation: or, judgment]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 12:12
This verse warns of the weariness from too much study and books, while Mark 4:1 depicts a scene of eager teaching and learning.
Ecclesiastes 12:12: And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh. [study: or, reading]
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:12
Paul expresses a stance against women teaching or having authority over men, which contrasts with the inclusive teaching setting in Mark 4:1.
1 Timothy 2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Contradiction with Matthew 23:8
Here, it asserts that only Christ is their master while being equal as brothers, contradicting the situation in Mark 4:1 where Jesus takes a position of authority to teach.
Matthew 23:8: But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
