Contradiction with Mark 15:42
It notes that the Passover preparation occurs during the evening, conflicting with Deuteronomy 16:1’s indication that Passover aligns with the month of Abib (spring).
Mark 15:42: And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Contradiction with John 19:14
It describes the preparation for the Passover taking place the day before Jesus' crucifixion, presenting a timing inconsistency with the "month of Abib" specification in Deuteronomy 16:1.
John 19:14: And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency could be related to the timing and method of observing certain festivals. In Deuteronomy, the instructions given for observing these events might differ from those outlined in other parts of the Bible, like in Exodus, leading to confusion or conflict about the specific details and timing of these religious practices.
