Check out Contradictions Catalog of Matthew 9:12 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Matthew 9:12. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Matthew, Jesus is saying that people who are healthy don't need a doctor, but those who are sick do. This means Jesus came to help people who are not perfect and who need His help and love.

Matthew 9:12: But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Contradiction with John 9:39

This verse talks about spiritual sight and blindness, which is a different context and does not directly contradict Matthew 9:12.

John 9:39: And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

Paradox #1

This verse suggests that only those who recognize their own flaws or shortcomings need guidance or healing. The contradiction could be that everyone, including those who see themselves as 'righteous,' might still benefit from self-reflection and improvement. It might seem inconsistent to suggest that some people do not need help or change in their lives.
