Check out Contradictions Catalog of Matthew 27:13 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Matthew 27:13. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Matthew, Pilate asked Jesus if he could hear all the people saying bad things about him. It was like a teacher asking a child if they heard other kids tattling on them.

Matthew 27:13: Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

Contradiction with Isaiah 53:7

While Isaiah 53:7 depicts a silent and submissive figure, Matthew 27:13 has Jesus questioned but potentially responding later in the context.

Isaiah 53:7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

Contradiction with John 18:33-37

These verses present Jesus speaking to Pilate, providing answers unlike the depiction in Matthew 27:13 where He initially does not respond.

John 18:33-37: Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

Contradiction with Mark 15:3-5

Mark also notes Jesus not answering the accusations, reaffirming potential response inconsistencies with Matthew 27:13's narrative framework.

Mark 15:3-5: And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
