More Contradictions: Which were Jesus' last words?

Question

You can't believe anything this book says.

Matt.27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."

Luke23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

John19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

Answer 1

Instead of answering the question directly, I want you to picture this scenario.

You're a police officer, and you're responding to the scene of a hit and run. There are four witnesses. You ask the first one if they can describe the car that drove off. They tell you:
1. It was a light-colored car, and compact.
2. The license plate contained the letters "R" and "N" and the number 8.

The second tells you:
1. The car was perhaps light blue, and a Ford.
2. The license plate contained the number 4.

The third tells you:
1. They didn't catch the color or make of the car, but it looked like an 80s model.
2. The license plate contained the letter "P."

And the fourth tells you:
1. The car was a two-door.
2. The driver had brown hair.

So which one was lying?

Answer that, and you'll have the answer to your "contradiction."

Answer 2

Good question! My bible reads Matt27;46,50." Eli, eli, lama sabachthani? that is, "my God, my God why have you forsaken me?"....Again Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and yeilded up his spirit." Luke23;46. " And Jesus called with a loud voice and said:" Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit." When he had said this, he expired. John 19;30. "When now he had received the sour wine, Jesus said:" It has been accomplished!" and, bowing his head, he delivered up his spirit.

Upon comparison which does not differ too much, it is my opinion that the later two were Jesus' last words. This is the same story told by three different accounts. I believe that all three were telling it accurately, however, the very last detail was left out in Matthew. I believe that is why God made sure his story was told numerous times. If you piece all three together like a puzzle, it tells it very accurately with much detail. That is the way the bible was designed to be read.

Answer 3

Mathew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?", that is "My God my God why have you forsaken me?"

Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying Eloi,Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God My God why have You forsaken me?"

Luke 23:46
And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said "Father into Your hands I commit My spirit."
Having said this he breathed his last.

John 19:30
So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said "It is finished!" And bowing His head He gave up his spirit.

They were Jesus' last words, Jesus said all these things in the ninth hour at which he died.
The disciples were just men of different languages, and they wrote they're different accountances and they wrote what they each heard Jesus say.
But the 4 things that each disciple wrote, are the 4 things that Jesus said, in that exact order.

Answer 4

An experiment was done where a professor had a surprise visitor in the college class room. The visitor behaved erratically and was observed by the students. Upon his departure the students were given a questioner on which they were to record what they recalled of the encounter. Not a single student recalled the details in precisely the same way. Is it because they were all liars? The reality is that our own perceptions are experienced and recalled based on our own unique way and influenced by our subconscious in put and bias. My understanding of the time frame for the writing of the New Testament was many years after the actual events (Jesus death and resurrection) took place.

Answer 5

Neither of the ones you mentioned. Before you set out to criticize the Bible you should read it. Jesus said many more words after he left the tomb.

Answer 6

He said it all! in what passage does it say that those were His last words? I don't think any one passage does say that these are the dying words of Jesus. So just believe that He said all these things.

Answer 7

For those who say the Bible never says those are Jesus' last words, I agree..... It does not say that..... and yes he speaks many more words after ressurection..... so yes, you dear friend need to make sure of what you speak or accuse...... God bless

Answer 8

you should probably study the bible before you jump to conclusions. your just picking things out to prove a (false) points to run over people's personal beliefs. if you want to make a point, make sure your points are valid.

Answer 9

I'm going to Disneyland!

Answer 10

Bible contradict itself? That's unpossible.
