Contradiction with Matthew 14:21
Contradicts Mark 6:44 by mentioning that besides the 5,000 men, there were also women and children present, expanding the count beyond just men.
Matthew 14:21: And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Contradiction with Mark 8:9
In a different account, states there were about four thousand men fed, which presents a different scenario of feeding miracles and different numbers, not directly contradicting Mark 6:44 but showcasing different narrative elements in the miracles of feeding groups.
Mark 8:9: And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Paradox #1
There is a potential inconsistency between the number of men fed in "Mark 6:44" and the numbers given in other accounts of the same event in different Gospels. Different Gospels might record slightly varying details about the size and specifics of the crowd, creating a conflict in terms of precise figures or descriptions of the event.
