Examined in Scripture Analysis

Contradictions (1)

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

  • When was Jesus rejected by the people in his hometown of Nazareth?

    Luke 4:13-30 places the Nazareth rejection at the very *beginning* of Jesus' Galilean ministry, immediately after the temptation, as the inaugural event setting the trajectory of his mission. Matthew 13:53-58 and Mark 6:1-5 place the same Nazareth rejection much later, after the Sermon on the Mount / parable discourse, well into the public ministry.

    Critical scholarship: Widely regarded as a genuine contradiction.
