Contradiction with Mark 1:35
This verse emphasizes Jesus praying early in a solitary place, which contrasts with the public focus of Jesus' ministry in Matthew 11:1.
Mark 1:35: And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Contradiction with Luke 5:16
States that Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed, which can seem contradictory to the continual teaching and ministering in public places described in Matthew 11:1.
Luke 5:16: And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Contradiction with John 18:36
Jesus declares His kingdom is not of this world, differing from the earthly ministry activity of teaching and preaching mentioned in Matthew 11:1.
John 18:36: Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:17
States Jesus came to fulfill the law, which can seem in contradiction to the concept of ending his instructive missions, as it implies a continuation rather than concluding a segment of ministry.
Matthew 5:17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Contradiction with Luke 19:10
Contrasts with Matthew 11:1 as it emphasizes the seeking and saving of the lost, which goes beyond mere teaching and preaching.
Luke 19:10: For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
