Contradiction with Matthew 16:28
This verse states that some standing there would not taste death before seeing the Son of Man coming in his kingdom, implying an earlier realization of Jesus' kingdom than suggested in Mark 9:31.
Matthew 16:28: Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Contradiction with John 12:34
The crowd here expresses a belief that the law states the Christ will remain forever, contradicting the notion of the Son of Man being killed and rising again.
John 12:34: The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
Contradiction with Luke 24:21
This verse shows the disciples' hope that Jesus was the one to redeem Israel, which seems confused and contrary to the understanding of Jesus’ death and resurrection mentioned in Mark 9:31.
Luke 24:21: But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
Contradiction with Matthew 12:38-40
In this passage, Jesus refers to the sign of Jonah as a foretelling of His resurrection, but it suggests a more cryptic approach compared to the explicit prediction in Mark 9:31.
Matthew 12:38-40: Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or inconsistency could arise from the idea of betrayal and suffering being part of a divine plan. Some may find it difficult to understand why a benevolent and omnipotent deity would require betrayal and suffering for the fulfillment of a spiritual purpose. This could lead to questions about the nature of justice and goodness in the context of such events.
