Contradiction with Isaiah 41:10
This verse emphasizes fearlessness because God is with you, similar to Matthew 14:27, rather than contradicting it.
Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 28:5-7
Contrasts with Matthew 14:27 as it describes Saul being afraid and seeking a medium for guidance instead of trusting in God's presence.
1 Samuel 28:5-7: And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
Contradiction with Matthew 26:56
When Jesus is arrested, his disciples forsook him and fled, showing fear and lack of trust contrary to Jesus' reassurance in Matthew 14:27.
Matthew 26:56: And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Contradiction with John 20:19
The disciples are depicted as being afraid and hiding, which contradicts Jesus' command to not be afraid in Matthew 14:27.
John 20:19: Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.
