Contradiction with Romans 13:1
This verse emphasizes submission to governing authorities, which appears to contradict John 19:12 where Pilate seeks to release Jesus but is pressured by the Jewish leaders claiming allegiance to Caesar.

Acts 5:29: Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Contradiction with John 18:36
Jesus states His kingdom is not of this world, contradicting the concern of political allegiance in John 19:12 with Pilate's fear of being considered disloyal to Caesar.
John 18:36: Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Contradiction with Matthew 27:24
Pilate washes his hands of Jesus' fate, seemingly contradicting John 19:12 where he is depicted as trying to release Jesus but succumbs to external pressure.

Contradiction with Philippians 3:20
This verse declares that Christians' citizenship is in heaven, contrasting with the earthly political concerns in John 19:12 over loyalty to Caesar.
Philippians 3:20: For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [conversation...: or, we live or conduct ourselves as citizens of heaven, or, for obtaining heaven]
