Contradictions and Paradoxes in Matthew 13:57

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Matthew 13:57 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Matthew 13:57. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Matthew, people in Jesus' hometown did not believe in him and felt upset with what he said. Jesus explained that prophets are often respected everywhere except in their own homes and among their own families.

Matthew 13:57: And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Contradiction with John 4:44

Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country, which aligns with Matthew 13:57 rather than contradicts it, yet creates an appearance of contradiction when considering Jesus's widespread acceptance elsewhere.

John 4:44: For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

Contradiction with Luke 4:24

Like Matthew 13:57, Jesus mentions that no prophet is accepted in their hometown, but the surrounding context in Luke suggests that despite initial acceptance, deeper rejection occurs, which contrasts the assumption that immediate acceptance is lacking.

Luke 4:24: And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
