Contradiction with Luke 9:13
Luke 9:13 contradicts Matthew 15:37 by stating that the disciples only had five loaves and two fishes to feed the multitude, emphasizing the insufficiency before the miracle, whereas Matthew 15:37 focuses on the abundance of leftovers after everyone had eaten.
Luke 9:13: But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
Contradiction with Mark 6:41-42
Mark 6:41-42 describes a similar miracle but with different numbers and circumstances, challenging the consistency of the events described in Matthew 15:37.
Mark 6:41-42: And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
Contradiction with John 6:12-13
John 6:12-13 mentions gathering the fragments that remained after a similar miracle but in a different context, suggesting a contradiction in how the events unfolded compared to Matthew 15:37.
John 6:12-13: When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
