Contradiction with Acts 4:27
Presents the idea that both Herod and Pilate, along with Gentiles and Israel, were collectively against Jesus, which complements rather than contradicts Mark 15:10.

Paradox #1
Mark 15:10 mentions the reason the chief priests delivered Jesus to Pilate was because of envy. A potential contradiction or inconsistency could arise when comparing this with other Gospel accounts that offer different motivations or focus on other details of the trial. For example, John’s Gospel highlights a fear of losing political power and influence over the people. These different perspectives might lead to questions about the specific reasons for the actions against Jesus and whether the accounts fully align.
