Paradox #1
The possible contradiction or inconsistency with Matthew 20:19 relates to the timeline and details of events leading to Jesus's crucifixion, such as differences in accounts of his trial and resurrection between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These accounts sometimes vary in terms of specifics, which has led to different interpretations and debates among scholars regarding the historical accuracy and sequence of the events described.
