Contradiction with John 9:4
While Matthew 25:6 suggests a sudden call to action at midnight, John 9:4 emphasizes the necessity to work during the day because night is when no one can work.
John 9:4: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:2
Matthew 25:6 speaks of a specific moment of revelation at midnight, whereas 1 Thessalonians 5:2 describes the Lord's coming as unexpected, like a thief in the night, lacking specific timing.
1 Thessalonians 5:2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:10
The verse in Matthew 25:6 prompts waking and preparation for a future event, whereas Ecclesiastes 9:10 emphasizes doing all work now, during life, with no possibility of action afterwards, presenting a sense of urgency in the present rather than future preparation.
Ecclesiastes 9:10: Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Contradiction with Mark 13:32-33
Matthew 25:6 provides a narrative of anticipation at a known time, but Mark 13:32-33 emphasizes the uncertainty of timing, not even known by angels or the Son, encouraging constant vigilance instead of preparedness based on a known moment.
Mark 13:32-33: But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
