Contradiction with Mark 10:46
In this verse, it mentions only one blind man named Bartimaeus, whereas Matthew 20:30 states there were two blind men.
Mark 10:46: And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
Contradiction with Luke 18:35
This verse notes that the healing took place as Jesus was approaching Jericho, but Matthew 20:30 indicates it occurred as He departed from Jericho.
Luke 18:35: And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
Paradox #1
The story in Matthew 20:30 involves two blind men, but in Mark 10:46 and Luke 18:35, a similar story mentions only one blind man. This difference in the number of people healed creates a discrepancy among the Gospels.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency with Matthew 20:30 is that it mentions two blind men receiving healing. In a similar story in Mark 10:46 and Luke 18:35, only one blind man is mentioned. This difference in the number of blind men could be seen as a numerical inconsistency in the accounts of the story.
