Contradiction with Exodus 16:15
This verse references the miraculous provision of manna, which did not require any existing food sources like the loaves given in Mark 8:5.
Exodus 16:15: And when the children of Israel saw [it], they said one to another, It [is] manna: for they wist not what it [was]. And Moses said unto them, This [is] the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. [It is...: or, What is this? or, It is a portion]
Contradiction with John 6:9
Instead of seven loaves in Mark 8:5, this verse speaks of five barley loaves available for feeding.
John 6:9: There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
Contradiction with 2 Kings 4:42-44
Elisha's miracle involves feeding many with twenty loaves, contradicting the smaller number used in Mark 8:5.
2 Kings 4:42-44: And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat. [the husk...: or, his scrip, or, garment]
Contradiction with Matthew 4:4
This verse emphasizes living by God's word rather than physical bread, contrasting the physical provision focus in Mark 8:5.
Matthew 4:4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
