Paradox #1
Mark 14:57 mentions witnesses making false accusations against Jesus. A potential contradiction is that, in different Gospel accounts, the statements and details about what these witnesses said can vary. This inconsistency in witness testimonies across the Gospels might raise questions about the historical accuracy of the specific events and the reliability of the accounts.
