NASB | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately--behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; |
Bible Question: Matt.4:18 says Peter heard about Christ by the sea of gallery, John 1:42 says, on the banks of the Jordon, two different times and circumstances. Whats up? Is the bible contracting it self? |
Bible Answer: Actually there is not a contradiction. John 1:42 is the account of Jesus’ initial or first meeting with Peter. The Matt 4:18 account is where Jesus calls Peter to follow him. "Matthew 4:18-19 and John 1:42-43 There is no contradiction here at all… …In John 1:35ff, John the Baptist was with his disciples. He tells them that Jesus is the "Lamb of God" (v. 36) and they stay with Jesus a while (v. 37). In John 1:40-42, Andrew goes and gets Simon-Peter and they follow Jesus. Why? Because Andrew had spent time with Jesus and told Simon that Jesus was the Messiah (v. 41). Later, in Matt. 4:18, Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee and He sees Simon-Peter and Andrew as they were fishing. He had not asked them to follow Him until this point in verse 4:19. They do (4:20). There is no contradiction." http://carm.org/bible-difficulties/matthew-mark/where-did-jesus-first-meet-simon-peter-and-andrew There is an excellent book written that discusses many of the apparent discrepancies found in scripture. In every one there is a simple and logical answer. Check out the "When Critics Ask by Norman Geisler and Thomas Howe Victor publishing.
