Contradiction with John 19:2
"And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,"
John 19:2: And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
Contradiction with Matthew 27:29
The narrative of mockery is consistent with John 19:2, but Matthew adds that they also gave Jesus a reed in his right hand, complementing rather than contradicting John's account.
Matthew 27:29: And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put [it] upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Paradox #1
The verse describes an act of mockery and cruelty, contrasting with the Bible's teachings about love, kindness, and treating others with respect. This reflects a contradiction because the actions described are not aligned with the ethical principles promoted in other parts of the scripture.
