Mistakes in the Bible?

We can submit to Scripture with confidence because of our Lord. Jesus was consistently clear that what Scripture says, God says.

For example, conversing with the Pharisees, he said: “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?” (Matt. 19:4–6)

Jesus is quoting Genesis 2:24, which in context is a statement attributed not to God but to the narrator. Yet Jesus sees these as the very words of “he who created them”. For Jesus, Scripture is the word of God, and as such He could teach that “Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35).
