Then again, he was god, so he could afford to be a hypocrite. The best part is that in verse 48 he tells his listeners that they "must be perfect, as your heavenly father is perfect." But he gives them an example that they can't follow without risking hellfire. Which is kind of funny, when you think of it.
Jesus might be an asshole, but he's my kinda asshole!
The contradiction happens in the simplistic mind of the literalistic, not in the minds of the serious student of the Bible.
