Contradiction with Exodus 15:26
Mentions God's conditional promise to heal, suggesting healing depends on obedience, whereas Mark 5:29 suggests instantaneous healing through faith alone.
Exodus 15:26: And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 32:39
States that God alone has the power to heal and kill, contrasting with Mark 5:29 where healing occurs directly through Jesus' garment without explicit divine action.
Deuteronomy 32:39: See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.
Contradiction with 2 Kings 20:5
God promises healing after days, which contrasts with the immediate healing in Mark 5:29.
2 Kings 20:5: Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
Contradiction with Job 5:18
Suggests God wounds and heals over time both, whereas Mark 5:29 depicts instant healing.
Job 5:18: For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
Contradiction with Isaiah 53:5
Describes healing through the suffering and eventual atonement of Christ, implying a spiritual rather than an immediate physical healing seen in Mark 5:29.
Isaiah 53:5: But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [wounded: or, tormented] [stripes: Heb. bruise]
Contradiction with Matthew 17:20
Speaks to faith moving mountains, implying that doubt can prevent miracles, whereas Mark 5:29 implies that faith without doubt led to immediate healing.
Matthew 17:20: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Contradiction with John 5:14
Indicates continued sinning can negate healing, suggesting healing as conditional and ongoing rather than immediate and complete as in Mark 5:29.
John 5:14: Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 12:7-9
Paul describes not being healed to learn reliance on grace, suggesting healing isn't always instantaneous or according to one's timing like in Mark 5:29.
2 Corinthians 12:7-9: And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
