Contradictions and Paradoxes in Matthew 26:28

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Matthew 26:28 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Matthew 26:28. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Matthew, Jesus is saying that his blood is like a special promise to wash away the bad things people have done, so they can be forgiven. He shared this promise with many people to help them feel clean and loved.

Matthew 26:28: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Contradiction with Hebrews 9:22

While Matthew 26:28 emphasizes forgiveness through Jesus' blood, Hebrews 9:22 states that almost all things are purified by blood, emphasizing the necessity of shedding blood for forgiveness, potentially implying a contradiction in the sufficiency of Jesus' sacrifice alone.

Hebrews 9:22: And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Paradox #1

Some people see a contradiction between this verse and the idea that sins are forgiven in a different way, such as through faith or repentance alone. This could cause confusion because it might seem like the verse suggests that forgiveness is linked to a particular act or ritual. However, others interpret it as complementary, where the act symbolizes the broader process of forgiveness in Christianity.

Paradox #2

Some see a contradiction in the idea of forgiveness being tied to the shedding of blood or a sacrifice. This could conflict with the belief that forgiveness should be unconditional or not require a violent act.
