Contradiction with John 6:5-6
While Matthew 14:15 involves disciples suggesting to send the crowd away, in John 6:5-6, Jesus proactively engages the disciples about feeding the crowd, showing initiative rather than waiting for the disciples' suggestion.
John 6:5-6: When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Contradiction with Mark 6:36-37
In Mark, the disciples suggest sending the crowd away as in Matthew, but Jesus immediately challenges them to give the crowd something to eat themselves, contrasting with Matthew where this conversation is not directly addressed.
Mark 6:36-37: Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
Contradiction with Luke 9:12-13
Similar to Mark, Luke describes the disciples suggesting sending the crowd away, but Jesus immediately instructs them to feed the crowd, demonstrating a difference in directive compared to Matthew.
Luke 9:12-13: And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
