Contradictions and Paradoxes in John 19:41

Check out Contradictions Catalog of John 19:41 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts John 19:41. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to John, the place where Jesus was put on a cross had a garden nearby, and in that garden, there was a special place like a cave where no one had ever been buried before. Christians believe this new tomb was where Jesus was laid to rest after he died on the cross.

John 19:41: Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

Contradiction with Matthew 27:60

This verse states that the tomb was Joseph of Arimathea's "own new tomb," but John 19:41 suggests that it may not have been specifically Joseph's personal property.

Matthew 27:60: And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

Contradiction with Luke 23:53

Mentions the tomb as being cut in stone where no one had ever lain, similar to John 19:41, but focuses more on Joseph's act of laying Jesus there, which may indicate ownership, potentially conflicting with the communal garden setting implied in John.

Luke 23:53: And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
