Contradiction with Luke 6:17
In this verse, Jesus stands in the plain to teach the multitude, rather than being in a ship as in Matthew 13:2, which shows a difference in setting.
Luke 6:17: And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Contradiction with Mark 4:1
Although similar in setting, this verse mentions that Jesus sat in a ship on the sea to speak to the multitude, seeming consistent with Matthew 13:2, but highlighting discrepancies in crowd size descriptions in some interpretations.
Mark 4:1: And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
Contradiction with John 6:3
Jesus goes up a mountain to teach the assembled people, suggesting a different location and approach to the multitude compared to teaching them from a ship in Matthew 13:2.
John 6:3: And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
