Contradiction with John 20:28
John 20:28 portrays Thomas acknowledging Jesus as "My Lord and my God," which implies a divine identity that is not explicitly stated in Matthew 16:16, where Jesus is identified as the Son of the living God, focusing on messiahship rather than deity.
John 20:28: And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Contradiction with John 14:28
In John 14:28, Jesus says, "my Father is greater than I," suggesting a hierarchy that contrasts with Matthew 16:16’s portrayal of Jesus as the Christ, which might imply equality with God.
John 14:28: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Contradiction with Matthew 19:17
Matthew 19:17, where Jesus says "there is none good but one, that is, God," suggests a distinction between himself and God, potentially conflicting with the identification of Jesus as the Messiah, or Christ, in Matthew 16:16.
Matthew 19:17: And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Contradiction with Mark 10:18
In Mark 10:18, Jesus questions being called "good" and attributes perfect goodness to God alone, which might contrast with the messianic acknowledgment in Matthew 16:16.
Mark 10:18: And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God.
