Contradictions (1)

Questions where the Bible appears to say two different things, with the passages on each side set together.

  • Where did Jesus tell his disciples to go after his resurrection?

    Matthew 28:10 and Mark 16:7 have Jesus (or his angelic messenger) tell the disciples to head north to Galilee — that's where they'll see him. Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:4 have the risen Jesus give the opposite instruction: stay in Jerusalem and wait for the Spirit.

    Critical scholarship: Widely regarded as a genuine contradiction.
