Contradiction with Mark 15:25
John 19:14 states that it was the preparation of the Passover and about the sixth hour when Jesus was presented to the crowd, whereas Mark 15:25 records that Jesus was crucified at the third hour, indicating a discrepancy in chronology.
Mark 15:25: And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Contradiction with Matthew 27:45
John 19:14 mentions the sixth hour as the time before the crucifixion events, whereas Matthew 27:45 states that darkness fell upon the land from the sixth to the ninth hour, suggesting a different timeline.
Matthew 27:45: Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Contradiction with Luke 23:44
John 19:14 notes the sixth hour around the time of Pilate's presentation of Jesus, while Luke 23:44 describes the sixth hour as a period of darkness during the crucifixion, presenting a chronological inconsistency.
Luke 23:44: And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. [earth: or, land]
Paradox #1
John 19:14 mentions the timing of events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion, stating it was "about the sixth hour." However, in Mark 15:25, it says Jesus was crucified at the "third hour." The contradiction lies in the different accounts of the timing, suggesting an inconsistency in the timeline of the crucifixion events.
Paradox #2
There is a potential numerical inconsistency related to the timing mentioned. John's Gospel mentions it was "about the sixth hour" when Jesus was brought before Pilate, which can be seen as inconsistent with Mark's Gospel, where it states Jesus was crucified at the "third hour." This discrepancy can appear confusing when trying to reconcile the timelines if understood as both referring to the same point in the day.
