Contradictions and Paradoxes in Mark 15:25

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Mark 15:25 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Mark 15:25. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Mark, this verse tells us that Jesus was put on a cross to die in the morning. This makes it clear when the sad and important event of Jesus’ crucifixion happened.

Mark 15:25: And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

Contradiction with John 19:14

John states that Jesus was still with Pilate about the sixth hour, which contradicts Mark's account of Jesus being crucified at the third hour.

John 19:14: And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

Paradox #1

Mark 15:25 notes a specific time for the crucifixion, while John 19:14 suggests a different time on the same day for when Jesus was sentenced. This can create confusion regarding the exact time events occurred.

Paradox #2

Mark 15:25 indicates the time of day when an event occurred, but other Gospel accounts, like John 19:14, mention a different time for possibly the same event. This creates a discrepancy in the timing between the two accounts.

Paradox #3

The possible contradiction with Mark 15:25 relates to the timing of Jesus' crucifixion. Mark states it happened at the third hour (9 AM), but John's account suggests it occurred later, about the sixth hour (noon). This difference leads to questions about the exact timing of the events.

Paradox #4

In "Mark 15:25," there's a timing issue. It says Jesus was crucified at the third hour, which is about 9 AM. However, "John 19:14" mentions it was about the sixth hour when Jesus was before Pilate, around noon. This creates a contradiction about the timing of events on the day of the crucifixion.
