Contradiction with Mark 15:23
Mark states that they offered Jesus wine mingled with myrrh, which is different from the vinegar and gall mentioned in Matthew.
Mark 15:23: And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received [it] not.
Contradiction with Luke 23:36
This verse mentions soldiers offering Jesus vinegar during the mocking, which seems to occur at a different time in Luke’s account compared to Matthew.
Luke 23:36: And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
Contradiction with John 19:29-30
John mentions the offering of vinegar on a hyssop stalk just before Jesus' death, not mixed with gall or prior to crucifixion.
John 19:29-30: Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and put [it] to his mouth.
Paradox #1
In the Bible, Matthew 27:34 mentions that Jesus was given wine mixed with gall to drink, but in another Gospel, Mark 15:23, it says he was offered wine mixed with myrrh. This difference in what was mixed with the wine is an inconsistency between the two accounts.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency could be seen in the act of offering a drink to someone who is suffering, which generally might be seen as a gesture of kindness, but in this context, it could be interpreted as adding to the suffering rather than alleviating it. The intention behind the action might be questioned, creating a conflict between the appearance of compassion and the reality of the situation.
Paradox #3
In Matthew 27:34, there is a mention of wine mixed with gall being offered to Jesus. In a similar account found in Mark 15:23, it mentions wine mixed with myrrh instead. The contradiction lies in whether the mixture given to Jesus was with gall or myrrh.
