Contradictions and Paradoxes in Mark 6:10

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Mark 6:10 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Mark 6:10. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Mark, Jesus told his friends that when they visit a house, they should stay there until it's time to leave. This means they should be grateful and happy wherever they are welcomed.

Mark 6:10: And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

Contradiction with Matthew 10:14

While Mark 6:10 advises staying in one house, Matthew 10:14 allows leaving and shaking the dust off feet if not received.

Matthew 10:14: And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

Contradiction with Luke 9:4

Similar to Mark 6:10, instructs staying, but emphasizes leaving if not received, potentially suggesting movement if hospitality changes.

Luke 9:4: And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

Contradiction with Luke 10:7

Advocates for staying in one house like Mark 6:10, yet also introduces the idea of moving for better provisions ("eating and drinking such things as they give"), which could suggest flexibility.

Luke 10:7: And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

Paradox #1

Mark 6:10 instructs the disciples to stay in one house in each town they visit, but other parts of the Bible emphasize hospitality and the receiving of visitors. This could be seen as conflicting advice regarding how followers should behave when traveling or spreading their message.
